dave said:The only control we have found to work is manual control - picking off the eggs before they can hatch, and removing the adults by squishing. Placing boards around the plants, the bugs will crawl under them. So you can then pick up the board and quickly crush them before they have a chance to hide.

It's because of these horrible creatures that most years, we can't get a pumpkin harvest.
