One of our potted tomato plants from last year is still growing (we are in LA) and I was hoping to see it fruit again this year. Then it became infested with IMMATURE KEEL-BACKED TREEHOPPERs. I looked them up and did four things: removed them by hand, sprayed with Safer, sprinkled cayenne around the plant and put it on a table with its legs in containers of water to stop the ants from getting to it. Hope it works.
