squash bug question

Burleson, TX(Zone 8a)

Will squash bugs bother tomatoes? Either live or lay eggs on them?

Stink bugs, Leaffootted bugs, Squash bugs will bother both tomatoes, peppers, and everything else. Squash vine Borers require the cucurbit plant to complete their life cycle, melons, pumpkins, cukes, squash, are their targets.

Thanks, Kitt. So what do you do to guard against them?

Neem oil. Bright yellow Solo cups to attract the adult and trap in the vaseline or soapy water and when foundd to be in area. poison.
Stink bugs - LOTS of egg searching and soapy water dipping, and squishing. I dont grow commercially tho...
