Overview
Knock wood, the squash bugs haven't found us yet. A couple of years ago, I read that mint planted near cucurbits (squash, cucumbers, pumpkins and melons) repels squash bugs. So we've planted the cucurbits near mint for the last couple of years, and so far it's worked. We have lemon balm, which is a mint, planted in the ground, because it tends to stay where it belongs. But the other mints chocolate mint, spearmint, peppermint and ginger mint we planted in 2- or 3-gallon plastic pots sunk into the ground, so the mint wouldn't run amok in the garden. One of our daughters, who lives in Rio Rancho, asked how to get rid of the squash bugs that were eating her cucumbers, and I suggested mint. She got small mint plants and planted them throughout the garden where her cucumbers, squash and melons were planted. By the next day, she said, the squash bugs were gone.
