Hornworms are kicking my ????

[kpatrick925]

Well I am starting to just get frustrated. I have been having issues with hornworms and sprayed with BT this past Sunday. Has anyone had any experience with it? I am just wondering if it takes a while for them to die? I found two more yesterday and had to pull 11 tomatoes with worm holes in them. I am including a picture of what I think is a baby hormworm but not sure. I included the baby tomato it put a hole in. I have pulled 8 worms in the last week and keep seeing worm waste. I just have such a hard time seeing them unless they are hanging out right under my nose and even then I can be looking right at it and all of a sudden it startles me because it is right there. yuk!! Anyway, my two questions are, is there a delay on when the BT works or should I move to the non organic (I really don't want to lose anymore plants). I went from thinking I would have an over abundance to please let me get one ripe tomato. And is the worm in the picture a baby hornworm and are they normally yellow when they are babies or is the BT working and it is getting ready to die? I removed it from the plant but am curious.

On the bright side even though the worms have been nawing on my black cherry plant I did eat my first black cherry tomato. Not sure if it was ripe or not but I wasn't going to let the worms get it. It was pretty good, little sweeter than I normally like but my sister really liked it. Appreciate any and all replies.
