BT spray. It's organic.

So are Cardinals. Funny thing, two years ago I noticed a pair of
cardinals working through the tomatoes like crazy. They repeated this
last year. Upon investigation, they were killing young hornworms like
there was no tomorrow. Some they were eating, it appeared, but most
they were shaking, pecking and crushing and leaving. I've no idea
about any of this. It was a Good Thing at any rate.

Cardinals can be killers. We did wildlife rehabbing (mostly birds) for
about 15 years. I learned the hard way to never house fledgeling
cardinals with other birds in a flight cage.

The killed and half-ate two fledgeling doves before I learned.
