trick is to wet the bottom of the leaves,buy a sprayer with a metal wand( if they still make such a thing and bend it in a "L" shape to get under leaves.these bugs you have to actually spray the poison on them to be effective.some insects that eat the leaves you can just spray the top and when they eat them poison kills them,others such as squash bugs when you spray they simply move to underside of leaves and you dont kill them.you must get the spray in direct contact with them.BE CAREFUL! make sure whatever you use to spray is listed for use on cucumbrits.lots of bug sprays are not!ever see a old squash plant come back to life in a matter of seconds when you spray the leaves?it will look all wilted and just about dead and you water and almost immediatly it looks healthy again? this is because it sucks a huge amount of the water it needs out of the air through its leaves.anything you spray on it goes directly to the fruit. I have all ways used wettable sevin dust.lettuce is another thing that has very few sprays available for insect control for the same reason.just because something says organic doesnt mean its safe to injest.make sure what you use is listed on the label as safe for the plant you are spraying.
