I'm just looking to get rid of these.  Pulled three from my tomato plant 
(only have one and its on the patio planted in a container),  But, it is 
about 4 foot tall and round.  Well, I picked off three more tonight.  When
I 
lived in CA, I had 6 tomato plants; I remember picking off the worms then 
feeding them to the birds.  The only birds I have here in Las Vegas are 
doves and pigeons.  Plus I had to move my plants up onto the patio because

the sun was literally frying them.  I never knew that tomato, or hook
worms, 
would eat green pepper plants.  Well, I came out one morning and my pepper

plant was damn near gone.  I picked a worm off of that was as big around
as 
my pinky finger, but was like 4 inches long.  BTW he ate a whole green 
pepper I was growing and waiting until it got a little bigger,

I hear ppl always talk about home insecticides that are made from soap. 
Would this help, and what do you use?  Also, what is BT spray?

TIA
Tonia
