Every year I plant squash and every year the squash bugs, dark brown to gray in color, kill the plants. I rotate the plants in the garden but they find them anyway. How can I control these things?
 
Sevin dust is the best.
Squash bugs get mine as well and makes them look terrible but I still get a good yeild of squash
 
The squash bugs lay their eggs in the ground near the stem. Pile straw up around the base of the plant and keep it covered all season by adding more. This works for potato beetles too.
