Vinegar and water spray, neem oil or just remove by hand. Although it can be tedious, I usually just remove by hand. I personally don’t like spraying anything on the leaves.

Tobacco hornworms = tomato bugs. The most common way is to pick them off by hand since they do not hatch out in massive numbers like other bothersome worms. If you squish them wasps/yellow jackets will come and eat the remains and hunt your plants for smaller things to eat.

You can hunt them at night or early morning with a black light. Those damn tomato horn worms glow

Go through all of your plants leaf by leaf, pick off every one of these horrible creatures you find, and yeet them into a fire.

Good luck with them. I lost my bell pepper plants almost overnight. Just found them on my tomatoes. Hope I’ve found them all.

I wonder if cooking them would neutralize the nightshade toxins.
