Just wondering does this work

[gardentoad]

I was told today, if I wanted to keep squash bugs off my plants I should put some watermelon rine at the base of my plants after I
Squish the eggs on the leaves.
Has anyone tried this? Does it work? And if so how?

Thanks

Don't know about that, but I was watching a show that had this guy named Adam Turtle on it and he talked about squash bugs! He said the best way to get them is to lay out a type of log (not sure what kind of wood he said) beside your plants, and then go out really early in the morning around dawn and flip it over, most of the squash bugs should be there as they like to hide in those types of areas, so you can kill them right then and there. Hope it helps!
