Default Tomato Hornworm Extermination Methods ?

I found my first Tomato Hornworm in the "Spudpatch" tonight, a big sucker about 1/2 inch around and 4 inches long.

Just grabbed that dude and "threw him under the bus by order of the boss spudmeister ...
squish...... !!! Splat, now there is green slime on the tires".

How does everybody else dispose of them besides stepping on them???

Regards,
Spudleaf Willie

If they don't have the welcome "rice" eggs on their backs...
they get squished or cut in half.
