Squash Beetles

This came from Brian Noy today:

I've gotten two reports of squash beetles today. It's battle time.

I've heard one strategy is to bury the squash (this works for cucumber, zucchini, and melons) with soil so that it will sprout new roots at these intersection and prevent damage at one point in the vine to kill everything that is growing past there.

Here's some other stuff that I found online:http://www.life123.com/home-garden/gardening-tips/garden-pests/top-five-ways-to-control-squash-bugs.shtml

Anyone else have any other ideas?
