    My squash plants look great now but they are about to flower and I have a sinking feeling in my gut. I have the stems wrapped, after a fashion, but I'm not confident I'll be able to exclude them that way. I've also tried insecticidal soap with mixed results in the past. I think it worked as long as I applied it often enough. Has anyone had success controlling this pest?
