Head to NaturesGoodGuys.com to purchase your Diatomaceous Earth and learn more about beneficial insects!
🌿BEFORE USING DIATOMACEOUS EARTH you need to know that yes, it can also be harmful to beneficial insects if they come into contact with it. that being said it is still preferable to chemical pesticides in our opinion. However it will lose its effectiveness when wet so this is why you will likely have to reapply. Just try to avoid flowers so it does not harm pollinators.
🐞NEXT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY NEMATODES WILL NOT be an effective solution for this type of squash bug. Do you see how those eggs are on the leaves? Well nematodes target pests IN the soil, so while many pests have egg or larval stages in the soil, this is not one of them. Therefore we have found physically cleaning the plants like this to be the most effective method of control
✌️once you are done cleaning, you will likely need to repeat this process once a week or maybe even more depending on your infestation
