I never get many melons due to what I think is squash bugs. A co-worker suggested diluting concentrated garlic or lemon juice and spraying with that to deter them. Will this work or is something else better? I live about 30 miles from Houston, TX and bugs are a big problem here.
Thanks

Once the squash vines start to run, I net the winter squash plot with electric net fencing and put in 3 to 5 guineas. No more squash bug the rest of the season.
