Yes, as Sheannutt says, they will desiccate your plants. I've tried Neem oil and it was like fertilizer! If I get squash bugs this year, I'll try some of the soap sprays. The only thing I've found that works is to just pull up the plants and deny the bugs a host. But, that's just my experience. I probably let the infestation reach a level that was too great and got overwhelmed!
