You can hand-pick them, make collars for your plants, I've even heard baking soda sprinkled around the plants will deter them.

One way to keep cutworms from destroying your seedlings is to create a barrier to keep cutworms out. Place aluminum foil or cardboard collars (think toilet paper rolls) around transplants. Be sure the barrier extends into the soil to keep burrowing worms out. You can use also use chemical pesticides to kill cutworm pests, although this should be a last resort. If you have to use pesticides, apply the product in the evening since cutworms come out for feeding. Also, consider using organic pesticides to kill cutworms instead. A wash of bleach-free dish soap and water on your plants can also help to stop cutworms from attacking the plants. Another approach is the use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a naturally occurring bacterium that target many caterpillar-type pests. It can be an effective and environmentally friendly way to treat cutworms in the garden.Read more at Gardening Know How: How To Get Rid Of Cutworms – Dealing With Cutworm Damage

Hi Lynette, hope this helps you out, Pick off the cutworms and drop into soapy water; repeating this every few nights. Surround stems with diatomaceous earth (D.E.), a natural powder made from ground up diatoms. When insects come into contact with D.E., the fine powder gets within their exoskeleton and eventually dehydrates them.
