My uncle told me that you can spray the leaves with water and a little dishsoap, the bugs dont like it and it will wash right off when you want to eat the veggies. I used it on my roses this year and so far it seems to work.

Seven airborne dirt and mud ought to paintings, besides the undeniable fact that that is been used for years and years and a few bugs have become immune to it. i do no longer advise using the tobacco spray on your tomato flora there are ailments that tobacco flora carry that the tobacco ought to grant on your tomato flora. that is why it is likewise no longer a competent theory to have human beings smoke around your tomato flora, incredibly while you're a tomato farmer.

Try spraying the plants with dishwashing liquid diluted with water. If you wash dishes by hand just use the same water that way you are recycling, adding nutrients, and killing those nasty little buggers all at the same time.

buy the hottest peppers you can find, put them in some cheese cloth and crush them. drop the cheese cloth into a pan of water and simmer the contents(slow boil) take the water(after cooling) and spray it on your plants, this also works pretty good at keeping cats& other pets out of the flowers.good luck

Lady bugs, most nurserys sell them. They will have a feast and stay around until all nasties are gone. Good stuff.

Great suggestions already, you can also try a mixture of crushed up garlic in water, and spray it on. Don't know why, but it works for me.
