Comments (6)I'll try the water trick. I have used a spray bottle of water+ natural soap+ a bit of neem oil. At least on my tomato plants and yea Cecily is right, cause I watched some of the tomato leaves burn ><;. So I've only used the soap and water spray. Hardest part will be that some, if not the more affected leaves, curl. Hopefully too I wont blast too many off xD; And lol, ugh Logan these things are just evil, little red dots about the size of a . at largest. These evil things are now going after my bottle gourd plants too. Sprayed them with the soap+water mix but it wasn't as happy....See Moreblakrab Centex
