I have never had an insect problem on my tomatoes at all since I let the predatory wasp eggs go ahead and develop on the hornworm. However, that first summer the stinkbugs had already gotten a head start on the tomatoes, and they were a mess. I think those tomato plants must have had stinkbug eggs on the undersides of the leaves when I purchased them. Since then I have purchased my plants elsewhere and with the help of the wasps, have had no insect problems at all. I think I have a toad or two also out there among the tomato plants. I can hear him singing his song in the evenings. I'm sure he helps also.
