Good luck to you! Those critters are stubborn and don't like to leave. I
eventually gave up fighting when I learned they eat aphids. I would rather
have tomatoes with white specks than aphid invested plants.

We just plant about 2x the number of plants we need, and split the take
with 'em (and the grackles, and worms, and whatever else). We still
have more tomatoes than we can eat, process and freeze, and give away.
