Default tomato leaves eaten....

Hi Again all,

Hornworms eh.....

All the leaves were taken from the stem on every plant except 4 now. Also
today 2 Pepper plants were stripped. Do they eat those as well? I'll have to
check for the buggers tommorrow morning when there is some light. I guess
I'll try the sevin....

Thanks

Craig

But when it comes to rapid destruction by critters such as hornworms,
there is a time and a place for pesticides and sevin is the most

of them!

I thought malathion was less dangerous than Sevin? Seems to me
I remember reading it wasn't harmful to anything with a
functioning liver, as the liver converted it to something
harmless.

But Sevin is the best spray for cornsilks :-).


Malathion kills birds.
Sevin does not...

I lost some baby ducklings because my neighbor used Malathion for fire
ants and it washed into my yard during a rain. :-(
