My squash and melon plants are being destroyed by something, not sure what. I've attached some pics, hopefully they will help. We've had an explosion of earwigs, so I'm thinking that may be it. Unfortunately, I work nights so can't stake out my garden until next week. I've also notice a few ants and two squash bugs, but not enough (I don't think) to do this much damage. This is the second time around, the last crop was also destroyed overnight. The first crop even had the roots eaten. After planting these, I spread DE and EcoSmart granules around the area, and sprayed with Garrett Juice and BioWash. Just got some EcoSmart spray, will try that today.
