Temperature hit 96 today, there was some flagging, I ran the soakers a couple times and I misted twice. Today I was due to spray my contact insecticide and since I saw 2 squash bugs I certainly didnt want to skip or delay spraying. My question is ... wont misting wash off the contact? Would I be better to lay off the misting and increase the time I run the soaker hoses?
Appreciate any advice :)

once a contact fungicide drys on the leafs you will be ok.
i give it four to six hrs to dry on the leafs then you should be ok.(over night works well if you spray around 6 pm)
