Okay, I bought a pheromone squash borer trap last week from Hollands' Giants and set it up on Monday night. Here is the link: http://hollandsgiants.com/squashVineBorerTraps.html"]http://hollandsgiants.com/squashVineBorerTraps.html. I must admit that I thought it was voodoo science and that I was basically throwing my money down the drain.
However,the trap killed 22 squash vine borers in 48 hours. That is more than I have killed in 4 years chasing them around the patch with a bug killer spray can. The pheromone lure is suppose to last 30 days. I knew I had svbs, but I have never seen more than three or four in an afternoon in the patch. And this trap killed 22 in two days!
If you cannot tell, I have this huge smile on my face. :D I might have found something that might turn the tide against my arch enemy.
