| OK - I know he's there somewhere because I can see where he's eaten and left his poop. But I can't find the rascal. Anyone know a good way to flush the @#$%^ out into the open? Linda |

| Seek and ye shall find ;-) It's a good idea to have a couple of tomato plants growing away from the ones you wish to harvest. When you find the hornworm(s), place them on those plants. |

I wish I would find more..I have tomatoes planted for us to eat and then some more next to my Butterfly-Garden.. If you find the BUGGER,contact me, I would love to have him..

| I've noticed that sometimes I blame tomato hornworms when its really blister beetles. They eat tomatoes faster than hornworms if that is possible. We take a stick and knock them off into a jar of rubbing alcohol. |

| why not use some good ole fashioned sevin dust and kill it |

| Do you really want to put Sevin dust on a plant that grows things that you EAT? |
