Julie, my seasoned- gardeners in my community use Sevin dust. Their straight neck squash are growing like they're on steroid. Not because of the Sevin, but how they fertilize them...

I did notice however, their squash have no evidence of SVB damage. So yes, on one hand, it must be a tried and true method. On the other hand, I understand that because of improper use of insecticides can impact our natural pollinators. So before I pull out the big gun. I'll try other measures such as successive seeding, replacing damaged plants with new seeds over the growing season.

@Nanny23, hah, here say; my hairstylist tipped me that human hair spread on the soil will deter deer, rabbits and may be effective against squirrels and such? I don't know for sure.
