Help! Something's eating my eggplants.

[nsbchickens]

I've got 3 nice eggplant plants going, in between 1-2 ft high, and there's something eating almost all of the leaves. Upon inspection I noticed about 3 different bugs on them. A green worm, a really tiny black beetle, and a black and green beetle as well. Something also is "glueing" my leaves in half and laying eggs in there. Any ideas? I'm staying away from any harsh pesticides, so any organic remedies? I live in Florida by the way.

The tiny black beetles are probably Flea beetles, I dust my eggplant plants with Sevin. The Organic way would be dusting with wood ashes.
The green worm??? most likely the organic way is just to keep picking them off the plant.
The black and green beetle??? Probably hand picking or wood ashes???

A spray sevin will get rid of your pests. If you are seeing tons of small holes that's the flea beetles. The green worm.. well that can be many things but will be taken care of by the sevin also. As will the leaf roller.

Sevin in NOT organic.

The only things I use on my plants are hot pepper wax, insecticidal soap, and bt.

I would not spray Sevin on my food.

When my plants disappear it is usually slugs, earwigs or rolly pollys.
