Squash Vine Borer



K-State Research and Extension asked for assistance in monitoring the squash vine borer. I had given up planting squash/pumpkin because the borer always killed my plants.

I was given a pheromone trap so planted a pumpkin. So far, the trap has caught 10 male adult borers. Last night I went to check and there was one inside the lure.


Their mating season is suppose to be coming to and end. We will see how long I keep catching them.
