Squash bugs Must Die!!

Last year I lost my entire squash and cucumber planting to, what I found out later were, squash bugs. They killed my poor plants in short order. They went from food producing bushes to composted brown spots on the ground in 2 days. Yep, that quick.
This morning I saw this seasons first squash bug and tons of eggs. Yuck! They are gross. They look like giant stink bugs but they eat my plants. Thus, they must die! Every single one of them. Dead. Stat.
 Unfortunately I didn't know how to make that happen. After a few minutes online I compiled a few different ideas. Here's what I settled on, it seemed to work. The general consensus is that squash bugs are an ongoing problem that you have to stay on top of.

I made up a spray bottle with some castille soap and water. I used about 1/6 a bar of Dr Bonners (unscented baby) that I had in the pantry and filled 1/2 a spray bottle with warm water. I let it sit on the counter for a few hours. I also took with me a pair of scissors to cut out any parts of the leaves that had eggs laid on them and  a bowl to put the infected leaves.
The soap spray was supposed to kill the adult and baby bugs. However, I found that is simply stunned my big bugs long enough for me to squish them. With much satisfaction in my heart, I must say. It did kill the younger bugs that were still white. They tend to pile together at the base of the plant so make sure you look really well.

I brought the bowl of yucky egg covered leaves inside and put them in a large ziploc bag. I sealed it well and threw it in the trash. You can also burn them, but seriously, it's like 100 degrees. I'm not making a fire.

Death row for squash bug eggs.

You must be diligent with killing all the infested plants at the end of the year too. Apparently these yucky buggers just hang out and come back next year. Pull up all the plants and burn them. I also plan to turn the chickens lose on the garden after we pull the plants so they can scratch up and eat any left over bugs that are hiding in the ground. Oh, and be sure to rotate your plantings next year.
Ok, that's all I've learned about these nasty buggers. If you have anything to add that's worked for you, please share.
In the mean time, happy gardening!
