The borer would have to eat a lot of bt before it died. I can not see how it would work. Spray pyrethrem every 5 days and you should not have any problem with borers... Bob.

Hello All,
 
This has been one of the worst seasons I can remember for Squash Vine Borer.  I have heard about folks injecting Bt (Dipel) above the worm in the stem.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  How did you do it?  I'm thinking I can feel the stem to tell were the worm(s) are at an then injecting the Dipel/water mix above them.  Any info would be great!
 
Thanks in advance,
Ben Saunders
