Tomatoes being attacked by caterpillars picked one with a hole cut it in half and a caterpillar came out. They seem to be attacking before fruit has ripened. Will I need something stronger than pyrenthrium. Thanks

Best to grow tomatoes into the winter months. The summer early autumn time has lots of rain which is the breeding time for bugs and insects. After Easter plant seedlings.
