squash protection while I'm away

Hi everyone,

I've got about 6 squash/zucchini plants that I check every day for squash bugs. About every 2-3 days, I'll find a pair or two of the squash bugs and their lives come to a quick end! With this daily inspection, I feel like I've given my squash plants a much better chance to do better than in previous years when the squash bugs have won. I've got a few fruit starting to set on one plant and flowers showing up on others.

But, I'm going to be out of town for 10 days starting soon and there will be no-one there to hunt up & dispose of these pesky little beasts. Prior to leaving, is there anything I can do to give my plants a fighting chance?

thanks
