Just finished picking ~20 of these suckers off my 4 tomato plants. Any suggestions on what to keep them at bay?

Just put some seven spray on them or something like that. Are they those big green bastards with no hair?

Those bastards will mow down every plant you have in matter of days. And they are camo so if you pick at them, you wont get all of them.

Get a bottle of Sevin concentrate. Mix 4oz with 1 gal of water. Spray your plants. Watch those evil things die. There will be little green turds falling out of the plants.

Mix 2 tsp per gal water. Spray once a week or after heavy rain. Safe to use. Spray today, pick veggies to eat next day.

My chickens LOVE those things.

when we start getting them later in the summer I'll get them and throw them in with the chickens. They'll fight for them.
