An update:
There were only two red balls in the whole box of Christmas ornaments but they're out there on the tree. Pickles also hung in two spots some extra ant guard cups filled with water from spare hummer feeders. There are still tomatoes getting pecked/chewed/whatever.
The coffee filter covers were removed as they seemed to promote spots forming on tomatoes!
Since the tomatoes have been rinsed well immediately after being picked, the incidence of spots forming seems to have abated a lot.
