Depositing and hatching of eggs and invasion by nymphal and adult stages are ways in which squash bugs get in the garden. A delay in litter removal (abandoned plantings, debris, large leaves such as the cabbage's, fruit), an emphasis upon pumpkins and squashes, a lack of netting and row covers, and the presence of boards, soil clumps, stones, and wood piles favor adults laying eggs that will hatch and mature and making short forages from shelter to food sources. Harvests additionally must be quick and timely since squash bugs favor larger, more mature plants.
