Squash Bugs?

A wonderful lady at our church garden passed this advice on for those really annoying squash bugs that attack your zuchini, pumpkins, etc.  Squash bugs lay little red eggs on the underside of the leaves and the bugs are fairly large - about the size of my thumbnail.  They can make a real nuissance of themselves.  My friend encourages the planting of lavender with the squash or the planting of white radishes along with or around the squash and tells me that the squash bugs will avoid those types of plants.  You can also take the flowers off the lavender stems and sprinkle them around your plants.  Not only does it keep the bugs away, it smells amazing!
