I want to rename squash bugs to unsquashable squash bugs or lil' ninjas.

Those suckers are hard to catch!

Flood the area with water - they will come up to seek dry area...  then I use tweezers to catch them and dump them in soapy water to die.  Or you can just flood and then spray soapy water on them as you see them - but have to make sure your plants can take having soapy water on their leaves... some plants are more sensitive than others to it.

Ugh, they are gross!  I have never seen them in my home garden (thankfully!), but they have made an appearance in the community garden - yuck!
