Q.Squash Borers Eat My Plants

Anonymous added on May 25, 2014 | Answered

Squash borers eat my squash plants every year. A man at my nursery sold me Bayers Insect Control for this. I still have them eating my plants and there are no more bees! How can I get rid of these horrible pests without harming beneficial insects?
