This is usually early on when the plants are young and before there are any tomatoes. A friend of mine uses the neem oil with a few drops of dish soap and a bit of Simple Green. She said it works for a lot of different pests but it didn't work on the leaf miners. I gave her some spray with Spinosad and she was amazed that it worked after battling leaf miners for so many years.

Hulamom,
This is very helpful information. I really appreciate it. I will get some of the Spinosad and see how that works.
Again, much appreciated
Cheers
Simon.
