zucchini, squash and pumpkin plant

Something is eating away just the outside of my zucchini, squash and pumpkin plants right at the base of the plant… just enough to kill them. I see no evidence of any type of borer infestation because it’s just the outside of the plant that is getting eaten. What could it be and what suggestions do you have for me?
