The best way to get them to stop eating quickly is to find them ( by looking for frass or where they're eating ) and just pick them off by hand. They can do a lot of damage, fast. If they have the white wasp eggs sticking out though, let them be! You'll be glad you did, next year. 
Good luck! |
Thanks for your post as well. Frass was the word I needed. Yep that is exactly what i have. Big piles of it. I pulled 6 hornworms yesterday. None had the wasp eggs on them. They were doing a serious damage to my toms. I haven't had the chance to go back thru and check all my peppers and eggplant.
I fed the worms to my chickens but they wouldn't touch them. So i stomped all of them. I have been out once so far today looking but haven't found anymore yet.
Any idea how long it takes for the wasp eggs to kill the worm?
Thanks again for your time as well.
