 22/ I do not grow pumpkins, watermelons, or squash. Squash vine borer is a major problem and all my neighbors are plagued by it. I think too many people are trying to grow these cucurbits and it’s exploding the SVB population. BT spray doesn’t work. 

Also rats go after the watermelon, I never get any. The melons get chewed up before they’re a few inches round.
