I gave up trying to plant zucchini. None survived these damned insects. Yellow Z is great, better than green IMO.
I invested a lot of effort to beat them down. And you are right, I think what it takes to kill them makes the fruited vine inedible. I read where you have to start eradication last year to have a hope for this year.
I do not know if the Diatomaceous Earth is really helpful or not but ANYTHING non poisonous to humans is worth a try. Get the smallest diameter you can.
And good luck.
