Yesterday, I saw a squash vine borer flying around my garden and it worried me. I checked the base of each plant and didn't see anything. But would I see much if she'd recently layed the eggs? I've seen pictures of the larva and frass, but I'm hoping to catch it early.
Do I just have to wait it out and watch for signs of larva? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Maybe wrap something around the base of the vines to keep her out of there?
I have three sprawling pumpkin vines, a yellow squash and a zucchini bursting with produce, and some baby watermelons getting bigger every day. I'd hate to lose any of them!
