Adding shade might help, but if it is not good enough then there is another option that I came across, but it would require you to start over. Having pests is normally not good to have in a greenhouse, and garden. There are bugs that are fine to have, but many are not fine to have on plants, or anything else that grows. Your plants should have been treated, but instead are being eaten. There are ways to deal with this problem before it happens. I suggest not using dish soap. You could try mixing water with Cayenne pepper. There are other options to use as a pesticide if mixing water with Cayenne pepper does not work. I found the below information on the internet. "Almost all caterpillars feed on plants and most plant-feeding caterpillars feed on leaves, which are the most abundant and accessible part of the plant."
Thank you, we failed to mention one thing lol we did use cayenne pepper in it as well . But this was after the fact, so we’ll see. So far we haven’t seen any others 🤞 we will definitely be pro active from here on out instead of reactive.
Shade cloth will help. When instand under the shade cloth, it feels so much cooler.
Yes for sure, I stood inside and it definitely has a coolness to it.

@@Citytohomestead Did you use dish soap?
Yes, is there a certain soap you suggest?
@@Citytohomestead No, I suggest not using soap.
@@knowledgeandmultiskilled okay we will take this advice, just water and cayenne pepper?
If you have Chickens, they LOVE those tomato hornworms. You better get those things off asap cuz they will eat up your plants in one day
someone else just told us this as well, good to know! Thank you. We have taken all the worms off the plants , Hoping they stay away🤞🏻
