Squash Borers
Squash borers often make leaves wilt. Trace back to the first wilted leaf
and look for castings from holes in the stem. With a sharp penknife slit
the stem up and down lengthwise through the center or with a small oil
can force a few drops of carbon disulphide into the hole. Finally cover
the stem with earth at one or two points to help it take root. Leave the
end uncovered.
