It is midsummer, and insects are out, setting their sights on your garden. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

As much as I love my vegetable garden, there are nasty little pests who like it just as much. Here is a list of some of the more common vegetable pests and some suggestions as to what to do.<\/p>\n

Common Vegetable Pests<\/h2>\n

SQUASH BUGS<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

They are light to dark gray and look something like a stink bug. Stink bugs prefer tomatoes, however, if you see insects that look like stink bugs on your squash plants, those insects are likely squash bugs. The best defense is to keep gardens free of weeds and debris. Trap by laying newspapers on the ground during the day. Squash bugs will congregate underneath where it\u2019s shady and damp. During the early evening, you can toss the newspapers, and the bugs go along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Check leaves often for reddish-brown eggs laid in clusters of 10 to 15 and use sticky tape to remove them. Tansy, borage, radishes, and nasturtiums may help to repel them. If you choose to treat, Neem oil, pyrethrins, or Captain Jack\u2019s Dead Bug Brew are effective and organic. Be sure to apply very early morning or just before dark to avoid killing honeybees.<\/p>\n

STINK BUGS<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

They resemble squash bugs but prefer tomatoes and fruits. Keep gardens free of weeds and debris. You can handpick or treat them as you would squash bugs.<\/p>\n

CUCUMBER BEETLES<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

They are yellowish-green with dark stripes. They can spread diseases, so inspect cucumbers often. Cucumber beetles hatch mid to end May. If you plantin\u00a0 the first week of June, you can miss them altogether. Dipel is effective against the young, or you can hand-pick. Radishes, rue, and tansy may repel them.<\/p>\n

SQUASH VINE BORER<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

These are larvae that bore into stems, which then begin wilting at the tips. Spray stems with Dipel or insecticidal soap weekly (to kill any eggs that have been laid) or wrap the stems in strips of foil or muslin. If you had borers last year, plant squash in a different area this year, as the borers pupate underground over the winter and hatch late spring\/early summer to lay eggs.<\/p>\n

TOMATO HORNWORM<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

3 to 4\u201d long green caterpillars that feed voraciously on tomato family members. The best control is to hand-pick, using gardening gloves (they can sting). If the caterpillars have little white ovals on their backs, then just relocate to the bottom of the plant. These host the eggs to parasitic wasps that eat tomato hornworms. On the other hand, take the time to look up what a tomato hornworm turns into\u2026I now plant an extra tomato and move the caterpillars to \u201ctheir\u201d plant.<\/p>\n

CABBAGE WORMS\/CABBAGE LOOPERS<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

Both are caterpillars that prefer cabbage family members (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage). They are easily picked off. Check backs of leaves periodically and destroy eggs when you find them. Oregano, thyme, and mint may repel them. If an insecticide is necessary, Neem oil is very effective.<\/p>\n

MEXICAN BEAN BEETLES<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

They resemble yellow\/brown ladybugs (they are related). The larvae are yellow and spiny. Check backs of leaves for clusters of 20 to 30 yellow eggs. Handpick adults and use sticky tape to remove egg clusters. Neem oil is effective (remember to apply just before dark). Bush beans are less likely to get them.<\/p>\n

APHIDS<\/h3>\n

\"Vegetable<\/p>\n

Aphids are small oval insects in assorted colors that congregate on new growth and\/or flower buds.\u00a0 They can transmit diseases and are extremely prolific\u2014they not only lay eggs but give birth to live young, too\u2014and they\u2019re born pregnant! Luckily, they can be easily washed off with a garden hose or can be treated with a mild organic pesticide. Garlic, onions, basil, and marigolds may repel them.<\/p>\n

Take the Offense by Playing Defense<\/h2>\n

Remember\u2014the best offense is a good defense. If you had insects last year, rotate crops this year. Keep gardens beds free of weeds and debris always. Check susceptible plants weekly, looking for foliage damage or eggs on the backs of leaves.<\/p>\n

How to Use Organic Insecticides Properly<\/h2>\n

I tend to use hand-picking whenever possible. If I feel overwhelmed, I reach for Neem oil or Captain Jack\u2019s Dead Bug Brew. Timing is really important. DO NOT spray during the day when bees and butterflies are about. They tend to go home about eight or eight-thirty at night so that\u2019s when I spray.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, that\u2019s also when most of the bad guys come out to feed\u2014they wait until almost dark when the birds have gone back to the nest. So spraying just before dark, you\u2019ll not only get more of the bad guys, but you\u2019ll give the good guys a chance to get the heck out of Dodge!<\/p>\n

How to Handle Four-Legged Pests<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re having a problem with four-legged pests, like deer or squirrels, here are a couple of tips. For deer, plant herbs in and around your vegetable garden, Deer doesn\u2019t like the strong fragrance of herbs\u2014and some herbs may help to deter insect pests, too. And, of course, there are a number of effective deer repellents on the market. Stop by the Great Big Greenhouse and talk with one of our knowledgeable staff for recommendations based on your specific situation.<\/p>\n

If squirrels are eating your green tomatoes, they\u2019re looking for the moisture content (that\u2019s why you find the tomato on the ground with one bite taken out of it). Spray green tomatoes with a repellent called Hot Pepper Wax. Then place an easily accessible water source 10 to 20 feet away\u2014a birdbath\u2014even a plastic saucer filled with water. You must do BOTH the spray and the water source. If we\u2019re in a dry spell and the squirrel needs water, he\u2019ll tolerate the pepper spray anyway. I have the best results when I do both.<\/p>\n
