    I used crushed egg shells around my plants and found no tomato worms. Rinse them, crush into small pieces anemic into dirt around plants. No worms!

    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.

    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..

    My daughter swears that if you take a red plastic disposable drink cup, cut out the bottom and plant the tomato through it like a collar. The worms can't climb the cup because it's too smooth, but leaves plenty of room for the tomato stalk to grow.

    I had them on 1 out of 6 plants this year, which was my first time ever. Next year I am definitely trying this from the very start!

    Good luck! (They are so disgusting )

    Plant dill all around and among the tomatoes. The worms LOVE dill and will leave tomatoes alone.
