If the Squash Vine Borer gets into your squash, you can perform surgery to get rid of them! You should try this if you see the holes at the base of the plant. It will ive if you will be careful and catch it in time...

  • You are like a SWAT team serving a warrant on Mr.Borer.

  • Thanks for the info, I love these videos! I ended up pulling out my zucchini but my butternut squash are great.

  • I would have never thought about doing surgery on my plant! Thanks for the great video.

  • Did the plant survive? Could you show it quickly if it did so we can see? I would have had the side stalk he climbed into off and squashed all of it so as not to see him die, but I would do it for my plants sake. It was just a hungry caterpillar.

  • Thanks for the warning...lol...I had to put my hand on the screen when the killing occured. So if I plant squash now will I have this problem? All my squash has recently died I think b/c of the borer.

    Great video!

  • thats the coolest thing i think ive ever seen!

  • This was my first year gardening, and those little buggers took out all of my squash/zucchini. I know what to do next year! ;-)

  • That was first rate video work there girl!

    I had this same problem with nearly all my squash, I got a few off them and then they went out on me. I did the surgery :) and took out 3 in one plant! 2 in several others.

    Some people say wrapping the stems in Aluminum foil helps next year I also will investigate a good pesticide to put on them to prevent this if I can.

    You are one of my Fav channels.

  • very informative, thanks!
