Does anyone else suffer the same problems as I do at this time of year with large tomatoes? (Roma, Kotlas etc) ie: little white butterflies or moths lay fat green grubs inside the fruit and spoil 50% of your harvest. They seem to disappear around December, and they seem to avoid cherry tomatoes for some reason (perhaps because they ripen too quickly). Any ideas?

P.S - tomato grubs: I find the fruit fly a bigger problem than the green grubs (white cabbage moth I think they are). Mostly because the buggers are too busy chewing through my cabbages to bother with the toms.

That be heliothis, usually bores down the stem end. I use one of those "Yard Guard"
bug zappers to control them, and any other night flying nasties.

Iv'e just been reading up on the moth, evidently it can sniff out plants that
are suitable for a bit of ovipositor action.

Corn,tomatoes, tobacco, geraniums etc etc are all affected by this pest.

So I reckon mask the smell with a good spray of the old molasses spray


Molasses Spray
Dissolve one tablespoon of molasses into a litre of warm water.
Add one teaspoon of Sunlight dish washing liquid or other pure liquid soap

Spray regularly over the leaves of all plants attacked by caterpillars and other chewing pests. Caterpillars would rather starve than eat leaves sprayed with this mixture. It has also been used with success by some gardeners as a possum repellent and for the treatment of soil affected by root knot nematodes by doubling the concentration of molasses.
