What is the best product to kill Tomato worms? [View all]

I Googled for an answer and most suggest pulling them off the plant. No way am I touching these things.
Since I share a garden with a woman who seems to have her own ideas, I hesitate to jump in and spray without proving to her that whatever I use will not hurt anything. She has taken over the garden but my other neighbor(we all share the garden spot) is hesitant to do anything for fear of causing a ruckus.
I need the name of a good product that can be used that is 'harmless'.
Any ideas?

Remember this post? Yes, same garden bully.
