A bad squash bug infestation will do you in just like borers...they suck plant parts and make rot spots wherever they suck....the fruit, the stems, the vines, the leaf ribs.....they can also vector diseases like cucumber beaetles and aphids do.....spray insecticide while they are young and scape the eggs off.....
