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?

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

I've used it for several years and it works great. 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.
