Nice food for someone, have some chickens run in your garden if you can

 

[Bhuter]

Oh no! Kill him with fire!

I hate tomato hornworms.  In my experience, there's never been just one.  Keep your eyes peeled for others.  Last year, I found SEVEN on one tomato plant on my deck.

I bet he tastes spicy now!

My kids just got some chickens, hopefully they do pest control for me

The chickens will eat more of your plants than the caterpillars though. Lol

I just killed 2 this morning. Time for some thuricide

a teaspoon of Southern AG Thuricide in a 1 gallon of water pressurized and sprayed should do the trick. should be safe without any waiting period, or so I hear. Can apply weekly if necessary till gone. check the company product info to make certain if that concerns you.
 
caterpillars will eat the product on leaf and then stop eating. should be dead in a few days.

He sleeps with the fishes (I threw him in a pond stocked w/ catfish).

I just Hulk Smashed two dozen of those nasty little things on my tomato plants. I like to live and let live but really... They had it coming.

As much as I hate them (and do kill them when the local braconid wasps don't), they are purdy. That is definitely a chicken snack!

I wonder how those little suckers taste [emoji3]

Braconid wasps are pretty sweet! Such a gruesome way for the caterpillar to go though.

Whenever I have tomato horn worms, I like to give them to a special friend of mine.

I have to drop it off, and leave the area, as she sometimes shakes them violently, and splatters green dye all over the place...
