               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

               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.
