Thanks for the suggestions and comments.  I googled their lifecycle and have decided to try some kind of semi-solid mulch (like basket liner material) to see if this will prevent the moth from emerging, thus ending the cycle.  I also discovered my worms are tobacco hornworms (no, I don't smoke or chew).  They are distinguished by a red "horn" on the tail vs. a black hirn in the tomato worm.  Also, several years ago, I dumped some sevin directly onto an active worm.  I lived for days until I finally pulled it off.
