Squash Beetles

We tried to grow a lot of Squash this year in the garden.  The Squash Beetles were worse this year than normal.  We barely managed to get any squash after the bugs got most of the plants.  These are some photographs I got of the Squash Beetles.

We spent a lot of time trying to get rid of these pest.  We didn't want to resort to using any pesticides so we tried some natural things and they didn't work.
