We have squash bugs as well. I'm keeping on top of them this year by checking daily and squishing what I can find. Last year they destroyed my pumpkins, then squash, then cucumbers. Argh!
Vine borers are a secretive moth that lays a single egg - hard to see. When it hatches the larva bores a hole into the stem and eats the plant from inside out. You don't know it's there until the plant dies. Be glad you don't have them.
