Anyone know how to control these guys without spray? I going to go hand pick them off right now.. But would love an idea or two.

We like to wet the plants thoroughly... then the bugs climb up onto the top leaves to dry. Easy pickins!

I know you said without spray but I have real good results with garlic spray spray it heavily around the base of the plant squash bugs hate it.

I have lots of garlic.. I think I will pulverize some of it.. and try that.
