I despise the squash borers. They are almost as bad as the peach tree borers. Every single year I've been fighting with them and this year I didn't even grow zucchini because I was planting the garden while 3 months pregnant and I didn't feel like I had it in me to really give those little critters a good fight this summer.
Congratulations on the yield!
I'm seriously considering not growing them again, Funny thing is they don't effect my Butternut Squash, but get my zucchini , yellow and spaghetti squash.... frustrating for sure

My winter squashes got taken out by the early blight - so between the blight and the borers, it's definitely a battle to get some production! I did find a probiotic application called Serenade that allowed me to get production from my tomatoes, though if I'd started earlier in the year I think I could've kept the blight from infecting everything so badly (the application stopped the black spot killing my peppers and has allowed them to continue on in health the rest of the summer).

I will have to look into that for next season, thanks for sharing
