I don't know what you have, but I have had the same problem with a lot of
different types of plants, and I bought a spray that was quoted as safe to
use right up until harvest, although not to be used over 3 times a season.
It worked fine and the holes quit appearing on the leaves and the plants did
fine. I dont remember what it was, but I bought it at Wal-Mart.

I've got five "Black Beauty" eggplants in various plots
around the yard. Four of them are doing fine but one is
apparently being eaten by bugs of some sort. (I don't
*think* it's rabbits because some of the holes in the
leaves appear in the middle, but we DO have a fine crop
of bunnies this year.)

I don't see any bugs, when I look. Anybody else have
this problem? What can I do to keep this eggplant alive?
(I am very reluctant to use insecticides but will if
needed.) TIA.
