Great to just pick them off and squish them...or drop them into a jar / bucket

of soapy water...

let them stay till the next day = drowned...

Last summer I put diatomaceous earth all over my yard when we didn't have

rain for a few weeks.But I was thinking about getting some food grade to

take, and put in their food too. It's said to do all kinds of good

things...

We have a doggy door, and they come in daily, so I don't like to put stuff

on them. Like them to stay clean. But since we are on bugs.. What about

getting squash bugs killed without killing good bugs? Thanks

Lorie,

The best product I've ever used for fleas and ticks was food grade

diatomaceous earth. Dust them once a week and no more fleas.

Cheers.
