The point of attracting them is of course is so you can lure them away from the tomatoes and then "deal with them" as you see fit.  |
Although I have heard a lot about borage stoping the tomato worm, I find it untrue. I had two years ago planted over 150 tomatoe plants and got the worm. It dececrated my garden, not matter what I did to get rid of them they just kept multiplying. So I heard of the borage thing and planted it all over the tomato patch last year and still got thusands of worms.
