This Year I used a stick with 10 foot of copper wire wrapped around a wood stick, with about 10 inches on top and bottom sticking in the ground, top sticking up. I have not had no Mites, or squash bugs at all so the wood stick and copper wire works GREAT. I have NOT used any poison's at All. It only cost $3.00 to get 10 foot of wire at Lows I will put out 3 or 4 next year. this is with a garden of about 150 foot long 38 tomato's 4 rows of Green beans, 2 Zucchini plants, 2 squash plants, and 4 cucumbers, and 1 cantaloupe plants. The 1 wood stick with the copper wire has done Great in all of that. I put it in the tomato row.
