There are tons of recipes for diy pesticides on google or Pinterest if it’s really bad but two easy ones I know of are eucalyptus oil and cayenne pepper. Both are fairly cheap and you can sprinkle either of them on the dirt around the plants and within a couple days they should lose interest. Our Tomato plants are growing in a dog kennel to keep the darn squirrels out lolHelpful Reply -

Hi Kari,What i would do is get some companion plants for my tomatoes, marigolds are the best for them. Plant them next to the tomatoes and you'll soon see the difference. No spray needed!Helpful Reply -
