Does anyone know of pesticide recipe with hot sauce soapy water for hornworms?

Question

Thanks

Answer 1

Here it is:

Blend together half a cup of fresh chillies with 2 cups of water. Add a dash of  liquid soap as a surfactant to improve sticking. Chillies can be substituted with 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce. Be cautious of leaf burn which is more likely to occur during hot weather & during the heat of the day.

This University of Minnesota site states that insecticidal soap will only affect what it directly contacts.

It lists other insecticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) used against tomato hornworms:
