My mom has tomato worms the size of her finger on her Celebrity tomatoes. Will the garlic pepper spray work or do I need to tell her about BTI? Or is there some other solution?

Thanks for any help!

The fastest and easiest way I've found is to pick them off. I save the BT for areas I can't reach.

I agree. Just hand pick them. If you don't want to touch them, use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull them off. If you have a creek or pond nearby, the bass and perch would probably love to have a free dinner. Sorry, hope that wasn't too crass, lol.
