What do you use against them?

One search I did recommended nicotine tea....as we know, tomatoes and peppers need to be kept away from tobacco products. Tomatoes and peppers are a large part of my garden.

OTOH, I have seen these before and haven’t seen any damage that I know are from them in the garden. I will use a pyrethrin occasionally if I see insect damage. I have also used Severin. I have never been that sure the powders are helping, though. I have also not had extensive insect damage in the past.

Bifenthrin. Went back through the areas where I had found clusters about an hour after spraying and couldn't find a single one.
