Diatomaceous (sp?) earth...that shit kills anything without an exoskeleton...sprinkle it on all the stems & around the plant base...I used to get it at the feed store for like 10 bucks a 50# bag

Thx worth a try. Also just read a post here that listed a bunch of uses, so seems like a good thing to have around.

My friend in Florida has those all year he got something from the local agriculture extension office to kill them, and put covers over his pants to stop the moths from laying eggs on his pants to begin with. I'm pretty sure he called them pickle worms. Good luck.
