Nasturtiums and squash?

Verona, WI

Hmmmm. I got a shop vac for my birthday (yes, it really is just what I wanted!) and this bug-sucking trick sounds like yet another perfect use for it. Got any advice on technique for getting the bugs without damaging the plants?

(Great diagram, Dyson! The bugs do seem that big - at least in "menace factor"!)

I have a Red Devil hand vac. Looks like I'll also be sucking up squash bugs this summer. I'll just have to watch out for the good guys. Thanks!

My daughter brought home a toad the other night that was sitting outside the door on the parking lot where she works. He now resides in my garden with all the necessary toadie accomodations. Hopefully, Toadie will also help out with the pests.
