The only way they don't get squished, is when they are sporting the wasp pupae. I simply remove them from the veggie garden and let them exist to produce more wasps. They're goners in a few days anyway, and if they can't get to my tomato plants, then I figure the wasps will hatch and go find other Tomato Hornworms.
