For wormy things that chew on leaves, try Spinosad. It’s like BT and is not a classic pesticide/poisin.
You can get it through Captain Jack’s as powder or liquid, and Fertilome. Fertilome is cheaper.

Thanks! Great write-up too. Easy to understand, and gives lots of good info on things like keeping beneficial insects, pollinators, and birds safe.
Am going to do some surfing at lunch on whether it also works on grasshoppers, which IMHO are also “Satan’s pets”.
