Several days ago I spotted some damage on my tomato plants from hornworms. I found a few and removed them but the damage continued. Last night I sprayed the plants with bacillus thuragensis and this morning I found several dead hornworms on the ground under my plants and one on a plant barely moving. BT really does work and quickly as well.

Also if you go out at night with a black light they glow! Makes them easy to find

Guess my merit has worn off ! Picked 16 hornworms off the last couple days ! Is there any other name for Bt ? It’s organic too Wright ?

Try GardenSafe Fungicide. It has an insecticide built in and seems to be working.

It is organic. There are several companies that sell abt. The name of the product I had was Thuracide. Read the labels as it is certain to be on the shelf.

Thuricide is a liquid form of Diapel dust I believe. Worms don’t stand a Chance against Diapel.
