About a week ago I noticed 5 adult squash bugs in the patch and a few spotted and stripped cucumber beetles as well. Today I saw the squash bug nymphs on some leafs. I am trying to not use pesticides in the garden and was wondering if anyone has any experience with Neem oil? Experimenting, we put Neem oil on the nymphs and they died. I'm just a little worried how the leaf will handle the Neem oil once I spray it. Any advice?

Neem should take care of them...Just use caution as it sometimes burns the plants.

Just simply follow the label suggestions which are very specific, to a few use conditions. I have used Neem Oil for years, on all kinds, of plants with no problems when I followed directions and stayed off the very newest leaves which is commen sense, for all spray materials.
