Rotenone (organic) works on squash bug nymphs. Use a can of water and dish soap for collecting. And old remedy is called bug juice. Collect and put the bugs in a blender with water and spray it on the tree with dish soap added. Not recommended to use the blender for food again.

If they are so small that they are hard to squish, try some moving tape wrapped around your hand- and stick them to it....
Hey! I think that's a great idea! I never considered tape before...thanks for the tip Lesa!
