Oh my ! Thank you guys for all the info and support. I did go to the garden center and bough the BT. However it poured down here yesterday, and, me with my ocd about the worms. I took my umbrella out to my garden thinking that the rain was so hard it would knock the culprits off. I didn't want to spray anything since it was raining, and to my dismay they were going strong..eating everything in their path. Yes there are more than one kind, a black striped one , an juicy green one and yes the dredged hornworm. I just put my umbrella down put on a pair of rubber cloves, and went on the hunt. While I was looking thru my garden Lo and behold there it sat looking at me, a huge moth. I was beginning to think it was there to spook me I found it to be the Sphimx .
I did see the birds walndering in and out , I assumed they were there to eat.
Later today after the clear skies appear I'm gonna spray. I'll keep y'all updated.
