Char,

Go get an organic insecticide called "B.T."  BT is organic because it is a
bacteria that affects only caterpillars.  It is not a chemical.  It doesn't
hurt birds, cats, people at all.  It is cheap.  Apply liberally.  When the
caterpillar chomps on a sprayed leaf, the BT bacteria makes it unable to
digest or eat any more food. They die shortly afterwards.  Tomato Horned worms
die in about 6 hours afterwards.
