RE: The Dreaded Tomato Hornworm

in #homesteading6 years ago

EWWWWW. They are really beautiful if you don't think about all the damage they do. Is the black rounds poop or eggs?
I think I would have poured boiling water over them. I'm not sure I would want to cut them now.
I hope you got them all. I suppose you'll be checking every day now?

Checked again this morning and afternoon... so far so good. No worms. Those black rounds are definitely NOT eggs. I heard soapy water if effective too, I think the scissors technique may be quicker and probably less painful for them. @ironshield

You're probably right about the scissors. I hope you got them all.
