Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Large Scale Bug problem

12 years ago

Last year I planted about 2 acres of pumpkins and they all turned out great. Now this is my second year and I found out now when I'm picking there are Many rotten and ruined pumpkins due to squash bugs and Striped Cucumber Beetles. I am wondering what kind of spray or powder I can use next year to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks
