Interesting read.
mamapoppybee:
the past few years i have only ever used seven dust. I have been carfull not to get in on the blooms of my squah plants. this is the only thing i use it on cuz squash bugs here get really bad. any suggestions to a new but affective remedy?
iddee:
I use powdered lime. It comes as quick lime or hydrated lime. It repels many insects, but doesn't kill bees.
Sevin dust is as bad or worse than neo's, imho.

So it prevents squash bugs too? Lime would be good for the land too. :)
