Well the bore worms get me every year. I’ve read on here and watch several videos to prevent them. I have 10-15 plants in 2 rows. I’m picking 6-8 nice ones a day this heat has slowed them way down.
I left a few uncovered with nothing on them.
I wrapped a few stems with aluminum foil NOT really worth the trouble the squash vine out the the wrap exposing the stem.
What seems to work is I piled sand around the stem. I think dirt would work????
I did spray all the stems where they met the dirt 5-6 inches up with neem oil water mix every 6-8 days. I tried to not get the oil on the fruit. I soaked the sand with oil the sand would hold the oil. I really think this helped
So far I’ve lost 3 plants. 2 were wrapped in foil and one with nothing on it. So far the sand works??????????
We have had no rain to wash away the sand I use soaker hoses which are under the sand.

There was a scrotum squash hung on back of guys truck a few years ago at work. Put a wire through it. Hung as a joke from a bubbly or 2. Hung it on a Friday he saw it Sunday morning went all weekend with it on. Said he drove serval places Saturday.

Try moving your crops around and remove all the plants.
