Hello! I went out to check my zucchini and squash plants today and noticed some orange mush coming out of the bases of the plants and the vines and leaves look wilted and some are brown. I got a lot of rain today and they’ve been watered twice this week. I did some research and it might be squash vine borers. Any ideas on what I should do?

Please post if you have success. I like zucchini and squash but I love harassing my neighbors with excessive harvests more 😈
