My baby squash is falling off and ants are eating my squash blooms. What do I do?

The ants are probably not creating this problem. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says the baby squash are falling off because they were not pollinated. It is important to remember that there are male and female squash flowers, and the pollen needs to be moved from the male to the female flower.
