Im pretty sure my wife will not allow this brewing in her house! haha!!!baymule said:Howdy fellow Texan! I too fight the squash bug battles. Usually get zero to none because of borers. Then this year I got a recipe for Voo-Doo Juice!!!!!
Voo-Doo Juice
1 pkg chewing tobacco
1 pod crushed garlic, not just 1 clove, but the whole pod
1/4 cup tobasco
1/4 cup dishwashing liquid
Boil 1 gallon water, dump in tobacco and garlic. Bring back to boil, turn off burner and let steep until cool.
Strain, add tobasco and soap.
Pour in 2 gallon sprayer and top with water.
spray after 7 PM and be sure to spray UNDER the leaves and saturate the stem from the ground to the tip, but not the flowers.
I had corn worms eating the tomatoes from the bottom and this worked for them too. I loves me some Voo-Doo Juice!!![]()
Oh, did I mention this stuff stinks while brewing??![]()

Agricultural sulphur? sounds yummy, gotta get some of that too!Snowhunter said:I found out (actually by accident) that agricultural sulphur helps w/squash bugs. You'll probably have to reapply every so often, but we were havin a huge problem, and I dusted the gardens and then noticed the squash bugs disappeared. Its been a week, and now that it rained, they're popping back up and I'm trying to keep on top of em, scraping off (gently) the eggs on the leaves w/a pocket knife, but I'll probably be dusting again here once it dries up.
Do you just mix it and then spray it on the plants then??Beekissed said:Garlic powder works great too. Garlic in soapy water works well for many other pests as well.
