These little red bugs do not come off and we have tried every kind of tomato plant spray out there. I don't know how to get them off because they are eating hole into my leaves and tomatoes.
I live in the missouri and have tomato plants that have little red bugs on them that DO NOT come off. HELP??
They are called potato aphids and they will come off if you use insecticidal soap or thyme oil. If you know somewhere to purchase ladybugs, they will get rid of them for you.
Reply:Spray some bug killer down. Not a big thing, happens all the time. Go to Lowes or Home depot or whatever they have there and pick some up made for gardens.
Reply:They are probably aphids,lady bugs love to eat them . Or use a little dish soap diluted in water in a spray bottle and soak your plants with that, it usually gets rid of a lot of pests.
Reply:Use dishwashing soap with water mixed in - put into a spray bottle and spray the plants down. It won't hurt the plants but will make them undesirable to the little bugs.
