We don't have them here. Is that the lowly Tomato Horn Worm ? On everything else, I spray with liquid sevins dust and use that to stick powder to it, to give them the double whammy.

pick them and kill them.Havent had them here in years.Hard to see cause they blend into the plant.Go out just before dark and listen.You will actualy hear them munching on the plant,,and you can find them like that.

Don't have them here, but this year I have slugs eating the ripe tomatoes. Not too bad but annoying. My buddy has a big problem with a worm that is hatched on or in the tomato and starts eating its way out. If it isn't mildew its something else. Jeez.

I can't blame someone for using chemicals if they want to, but I choose not to.

Good luck with the worms.

Sevin or pig castrator equally well. When I was a kid they were tobacco worms.

You can spray with BT thuricide but picking them is very effective and chickens love to eat them.
I posted on here about 2 years ago how they glow under black light...buy a $7 flashlight on Amazon and pick them at night. It's easy when they glow you can even find the babies


Just happy to be here.

We have them here but not bothered by them. We have picked many dozens of tomatoes already. We didn't think we were going to have much of anything but was wrong.

Those suckers like pepper plants too. I treat with Sevin Dust before fruiting. After fruiting I use the pick and stomp method.

Never had much luck fishing with them.

liquid sevin dust. I spray that on everything in my garden. It works. Too many bugs around here to not use some sort of pesticide.

Also diatomaceous earth is another option. Dust your plants and surrounding areas around mater's and any crawling insect will get sliced open and die. Picture tiny glass shards to a worms bottom side. Have to reapply after rain

Exactly. but I haven't used anything on my tomatoes except Fungonil to control septoria leaf spot. If I had used something, my sweet potatoes would still have leaves, and those leaves are fine skeletons now. First time I have tried to grow them up here. I don't believe I get much crop there.
