We had to build a full enclosure of 1/4" hardware cloth - including the top. Chipmunks were the worst, but birds, squirrels, and deer also attacked the plants. It needs to be tended to keep it effective or something will find a way in. We call it the plant prison.
As for insects, my wife won't use anything"artificial", so it's neem oil and diatomaceous earth. It doesn't work very well so we loose most of the zucchini.

Insecticidal soap should work on squash bugs. Plenty of recipes online for making your own.
