Deeply Rooted
Last year I was totally plagued by the vine borer. I lost three different crops.
This year I let my early radishes go to flowering and no vine borer. I know that I am chancing it by even posting this but I think it does work.
I am also totally amazed at the size of radishes as they bloom. They are freakin huge like 3 to 4 feet tall. I let a lot of them flower hoping that more would be better. I will probably do it again.

they get a really loooong tap root when you let them go to seed. but companion planting seems to work really well for keeping pests at bay from your main plant. and another benefit of letting the radishes go to seed is you won't have to buy more seeds for them next season! 
Radish or no radish that bug is persistent.
