Stink bugs and leaf-footed bugs are closely related insects that feed on tomato plants and fruit. The damage to the foliage and stems is negligible, but the insects can ruin young fruit.
How do I get rid of leaf-footed bugs on my tomatoes?
Insecticides such as permethrin, cyfluthrin or esfenvalerate can be used to control leaf-footed bugs. Do not use permethrin on varieties with fruit less than one-inch diameter. Be sure to observe the days-to-harvest period indicated on the pesticide label, and be certain to wash the fruit before using.
