Here Come the Tomato Hornworms!!

Spartanburg123 · June 7, 2017

I was checking out one of my Rebel Yell plants this morning, and I saw two things of concern: a baby tomato that had hunks chewed out of it, and little piles of caterpillar stool on one of the leaves. Even with my reading glasses on, I could not locate the hornworm- I get them every year. Eating the leaves is one thing, but not the tomatoes! Anyway, any suggestions? I am waiting on the braconid wasps to lay their eggs on these guys. Any insecticides that you can recommend?

Thanks!
