To kill tomato worms naturally, mix some liquid dish soap and water in a spray bottle, spray it on the tomato plant, and then shake some Cayenne pepper onto the plant and on the tomatoes. The soap kills the worms, and the cayenne pepper will keep them away if the soap washes off of the plant and they try to come back.
spray them down with neem oil
Rotate your tomato plants into different bed each year because the first season the moth sees your yummy caterpillar food (tomatoes) and lays her eggs. Next season the worms appear above ground, sees how kind you were to furnish its buffet of tomato leaves, and replays your kindness by eating all the leaves which kills the plant..

Good luck! (They are so disgusting )
Plant dill all around and among the tomatoes. The worms LOVE dill and will leave tomatoes alone.
