I got 100% neem oil which I combine with water and a little dish soap. It seems to be working pretty well, although I don't think the squash bugs have been completely eliminated.

I've got them on my pumpkin plant unfortunately. I've been squashing them as I see them, and cutting out any of the dead leaves and vines, and any leaves with eggs on them. We've also been spraying our plot with neem oil which seems to be helping. There seem to be squash bugs all over that side of the garden. I’ve got them on my pumpkin plant unfortunately.
