Has anyone had success spraying insecticidal soap solution in the borer holes?

Sent from my iPhoneActually, I think that's a fairly standard treatment; but I've never used it, so can't give advice as to how.I think, however, that you may want to try to inject the Bt actually into the borer, if you can tell where it is. Another technique (that I have used a couple of times) is to just take a pocketknife and slice lengthwise through the bulge where the borer is -- you can probably kill the borer and not kill the squash stem. Cover the injured stem with soil afterwards; the plant may put extra roots down there, which will help make up for any injury.Pyrethrum every 5 days, in addition to being a large nuisance and a difficult schedule to keep anywhere with erratic rain, is likely to be hard on beneficials. Also, if you're concerned about organic use, be careful: not all formulations are permissible. (Also true of Bt formulations, of course.)-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostlyFresh-market organic produce, small scaleOn Jul 26, 2011, at 9:17 AM, <sunnfarm wrote:The borer would have to eat a lot of bt before it died.

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!_______________________________________________
