Another thing I do, the morning after I spray with the bleach spray...

Take 1 gallon of untreated water (distilled, municipal water that’s been boiled, etc) add some ‘great white’ microbes. spray down the plants that have been sprayed the night before. Replaces the good microbes.

If you do spray with the bleach spray, stand upwind and wear old clothes. A mask would be good if you have one.

I will have to try this, thanks. We used to have aphid problems but I plant marigolds with the tomatoes and that seems to keep them away.

Our other tomato problem is deer... they come and take big bites out tomatoes! My husband says she’s going to build a deer blind near the garden

Replaces the good microbes.

Thanks for tip. I saw someone talking about issues with bugs in kale, and other greens. I intended, but forgot to mention there are microbes you can spray on your greens which will kill these in a day or two. I don't remember the name of the microbe product I used, but agree these products works really well and are a natural way of dealing with these bugs/worms.
