They always infest our tomato plants. They are the larvae of the Hawk Moth.

Isn't there anything you can use to kill them on your crops?

One website said the most effective way to get rid of them is to just keep picking them off the plants. You can also spinkle pesticides on your tomato plants, but... /pass

Friend of mine used to use nicotine, he extracted it from cigarettes and sprayed it on his tomatoes.... maybe that'd work?

I know if you take cut hair and put it around your garden rabbits will stay out of it.

Nicotine isn't that hard to get a hold of. Maybe you can't purchase it in the wal mart garden section but I bet there are a few bug control people in the area who use it.

Pure nicotine is super poisonous. A few drops on your skin left to soak in can kill you. Thats what makes it a good pesticide.
You were right Tikker. We suck.

Yessir! Niccotine kills 100% of everything, every time. Just mix a bunch up in some water and you're good to go. There's a world of pissed off farmers out there that still use it.

These are very common here as well and can be killed with a spray that is non-toxic to the plants and other animals.

Wow. Asshole shelter. Ever heard of one charging you to take strays? Ours does. They also charge you for humane traps.

That take too much work. If you want to kill a cat just kick it in the head a few time.
