Looks like something is eating the leaves off of my plants, Any recommendations for homemade or store bought?

TIA

If it’s caterpillars, you want thuricide. For small, soft bodied insects, neem oil works well.

Since nicotine works, I wonder how the cartridges for ecigs might be converted to fit a simple sprayer???

Easier still to buy a can of copenhagen or skoal and dump in some water and alcohol then after a couple days use that filtered liquid in a spray bottle.

Diatamaceous earth. Put a pile of it down and hit it with the leaf blower covering all the plants reapply after it rains

Spinosad products are used by organic farms for pest control.

Neem oil spray has served me well.

I won’t vouch for it but I had a neighbor who would use a mixture of soap, orange oil and cayenne pepper pepper on her veggie garden.

I once bought some kind of clove oil for fleas in the yard and it actually worked.
