First bud worm!

So my plants are barely entering the flowering stage and I noticed a couple of the leaves where being chomped at so I decided to take a look under the leaves for mites only to be surprised by a little green worm ... I ripped the leaf off and thru it to the side, it's too hot to me outside with the girls but later today I'm going to do a little more pruning and a major bug inspection...

Any tips? Homemade sprays I can use to deter the worms? I am assuming that moths are laying their eggs on my plants and then the worms hatch and live off the buddah?

THANKS EVERYONE, This grow is important to me. It must go well even if it's outdoor I can't have infected crop for my patients

i covered my crops with a fine netting then repeated sprays with Safer Caterpillar Killer, havent had problems since the first spray

Budworms are often countered with BT (a species of Bacillus bacteria) insecticide. You will have to apply it THOROUGHLY on both sides of the leaves as the caterpillars have to eat them to be affected. Do not spray after the 2nd – 3rd week of flowering. For Chemicals, Carbaryl insecticide is also used for the same purpose, marketed with different brand names.

Can we just foliar with some neem? I found the same green caterpillar.
