> The best correlation I have found with the bugs you mentioned is with
weather. Don't know about your area by we had a wet cold spring and that
set back most bugs. Plus, if you start seeds early and transplant, that
really hurts cucumber and squash pests as they like the emerging young
growth. Sets them back a bit.
