Default Can I trust b.t. spray?

Can I trust b.t. to do its job while I'm gone for about a week?

I've removed over 20 baby hornworms and dozens of eggs off my small 10 plants since the weekend. Leaving this afternoon. I sprayed with monterey b.t. last night.

There were six more baby hornworms this morning.

It would not be fun returning to my little crop gone that I'm struggling with already. Debating asking the neighbor to check them out, but concerned about liability. I have family that could swing by, although they are elderly and access requires going down stairs without a hand rail. The guilt if they hurt themselves are not worth the potential prevention.

Anything else I can do, or is this one of those just hope it'll work out, and if not, laugh it off and try again next year?


Thank you for your time!
