I haven't gotten hit by borers yet, but the squash beetles (the orange and black ladybug looking guys - see the attached pic) have started nibbling on my leaves. I started using Neem a few weeks ago, and I've seen a reduction in damage, but I still see a few beetles here and there. I think I just need spray a bit more often, since I was only spraying every 7-10 days or so. Will keep you posted.
