Right now your only alternative is to try to locate them in the vine, using a pocket knife make a small slit and scoop them out. Then cover the vine with dirt as long as the damage isn't too bad the plant can survive. I like to use Sevin spray or dust on squash and pumpkins to keep them at bay. With zukes I just take my chances as I don't like to spray them.
