I got 'em, dang it...

I bought a black light and went out last night to pick them all off. About 6 in total on my 12 tomato plants. From what I've read BT is effective at killing them aside from just checking your plants often and picking them off by hand. Any other recommendations y'all have to control and kill them?

don't have any on my maters but they have hit my peppers pretty hard.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Monterey Garden Insect Spray, if you're interested in an organic insecticide. I've used it for several years and it works great.

I can't grow a dang tomato....I've got a bunch on the plants but they won't get bigger than 4 inches

I bought a couple bottles of Bonide Tomato & Vegetable pesticide/fungicide spray that says it kills and controls hornworms. We will see if that in combination with hand picking them will get rid of them.

BT is what I use.

Yep, works great.
I also check ‘em at night occasionally with a black light.

Problem seems to be under control for now, no more damage noticed today. Sprayed everything real good so fingers crossed

Gotta keep up with spraying to keep them off. Hope you got it!


Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

No more worms for now. Gonna keep on this pyrethrin spray program for now since it’s seemed to have worked.

I found 3 on one of my container plants. I hate them. Seemed like it went from looking great to where the heck did the leaves go in one day. None at my garden yet. But I probably need to spray anyway.
