I noticed something today when I was watering. I was spraying with the hose and watering the leaves too. I normally water once then go back and water again. About 5 minutes pass between waterings. When I got around to the 2nd watering for the zucchini plants I noticed all the squash bugs were trying to escape the water at ground level. They were climbing up to the tops of the plants.
Normally, when you try to catch squash bugs by hand they see you and drop to the ground immediately. well after being sprayed and soaked the squash bugs were desensitized and moved slower. They didn't drop when I tried to catch them. I caught and stomped about 50 or more of them. I'd catch them, stomp them, water the plant a bit, wait, repeat.
