Control and Elimination of Tomato Hornworms
Most Effective Control For Tomato Hornworms is * Bacillus Thuringiensis
Hornworms are often difficult to see because of their protective coloring. Not much for the heat of direct sunlight, they tend to feed on the interior of the plant during the day and are more easily spotted when they move to the outside of the plant at dawn and duskThe Tobacco Horn worm is not the same species, although you couldn't tell by looking at the two, and their habits and controls are basically identical
Hand pick worms from plants; check plants in the evening with a flashlight.
* Dill planted next to tomatoes will serve as a preferred trap crop;
hand pick worms off the dill.
* Turning the soil in the fall will expose hornworm pupae to weather and
predators.
