They are squash bugs and I think we are on the right track to controlling them. I just wondered if we pick the unripe squash off the vines or leave them to ripen on the vine? Thank you!

What kinda bugs are killing the plants? I had squash bugs in mine. I mixed a little sevens and cyfluthrin together, and it killed them so fast, they died where they stood.
