Why would a squash vine borer lay eggs that hatch into worms that burrow into the host plant to live off of the plant BEFORE IT HAS A CHANCE TO REPRODUCE THEN KYLL THE PLANT?
It just doesn't make sense.
Why would a squash bug make thousands of offspring that suck the life out of a plant while injecting it with viruses that wilt and kyll the plant before it has a chance to replace itself?
UGGG those fugging bugger squash bugs, I am contemplating this year if I should even try and grow butternut squash this year. Should I burn the plot that I want to grow them in first? does burning actually help with fertilizing the soil?
no sense... nonsense, they have NO SENSE. brainless twats!
They overwinter under trash and in the ground so unless the flame was hot enough to penetrate the soil it wouldn't do any good.
Clean cultivation helps but they will still come back so you have to get them while they are young. I used to put down cardboard and pieces of wood that they like to hide under. You can lift it, they will scurry and then you can either crush the green blood out of them or roast them with a mini torch but be aware that cooked bug can make you very sick.
The coppery eggs are the most important thing to control.
He is hilarious!
He's so deadpan and sarcastic.
I watched a few more of his videos that might have appeal only for loggerheads like me, but his delivery is the same and I couldn't stop laughing.
They dun buggered off...
Who are these fucking buggering buggers who buggered all of us?
You always ask the most pertinent questions:

Squash bugs remind me of this:

Why would borers take down a tree the size of a highrise building then move on to destroy another one?
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
And THAT is the point.
