I have something attacking the leaves of my white eggplants but not the
tomatoes, zuchs, lettuce or cucumbers. Suggestions on how to combat
appreciates.

Can you describe the look of the damage? Otherwise it's hard to say. Could
be a vine weevil. They only come out at night, and chomp big holes in your
leaves. If you've got your plants in pots, one of your pots could have vine
weevil grubs in it. Go out at midnight with a flashlight and see if you can
see these beetles on your leaves. For more info, Google vine weevils.

OTOH, it could be slugs or snails, depends on the country you live in.
