Tomato plants have tiny bugs

Aug 20, 2003 3 Replies

My tomato plants have very tiny bugs, which look like miniature fruit flies on stems of the plant. Can anyone recommend something to get rid of these pests which won't be toxic? I also am growing red peppers and watermelon.


Try insaecticidal soap--such as Safers--available at many garden centers or departments.

Spiders.... ;-)

sounds like aphids.

ladybugs are natural predators of aphids.
