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.

squash bug eggs inside serviceberry fruit

12 years ago

I have found squash bug eggs inside the berries on my serviceberry tree. Does anyone know what to do? Should I try to strip the tree of all berries? Or treat the tree with an insecticidal soap. Or both, and treat all berries taken down with detergent? So much for this year's heavy crop.
