My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Large Scale Bug problem

15 years ago

Last year I planted about 2 acres of pumpkins and they all turned out great. Now this is my second year and I found out now when I'm picking there are Many rotten and ruined pumpkins due to squash bugs and Striped Cucumber Beetles. I am wondering what kind of spray or powder I can use next year to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks

Dave
