I use Assail 30SG Insecticide. It is a productive neonicotinoid insecticide that moves rapidly throughout treated foliage through systemic action to kill the SVB larvae. I drench it into the roots for systemic update and spray it on the leaves and lower leaf stems every 7-10 days during the SVB egg laying period which is mid June to early July in Massachusetts

Thank you, pumpconn, as I must also look for a cucumber beetle remedy AND a squash bug remedy. This will be a good head start and with some research I will succeed. They are all VICIOUS this year. OMG. Well, onward...eg
