Pick off the hornworms and put a rock on the ground, the worm on the rock and smash with another rock.
Then go buy some Dipel, which is an organic BT product and it comes either as a powder or to spray.
When the hornworms ingest the Dipel it inserts crystals in the stomach lining of the worm making a hole and the worm stomach blows up. Finis.
If you see any hornworms with white eggs on their back let them be b'c it's a parasitic wasp and when the eggs hatch they will kill the hornworm.
