My Tomatoes are covered by red insects even more than last week. There is an invasion of my garden going on... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are they possibly red aphids? Aphids come in different colors. I would treat with an organic pesticide soap spray.

The flecks in your picture look like whitefly. Tiny red bugs may be spider mites. Personally, I would wait a week before spraying anything. When I wait, usually predatory insects (predatory mites, wasps etc.) show up on their own to take care of the problem. A good blast with the hose will often knock down pests, which have a hard time crawling back up.

When you use a pesticide, even an organic one, you often get trapped in a cycle of respraying because you knock out the good bugs with the bad. Also, many plants can do well despite a few pests.

Finally, to pre-empt Kimm1, how is your soil? Plants grown in healthy soil are more resistant to pests. Unhappy plants are pest magnets- the bugs can chemically "sniff" them out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I gave it until friday to improve. I tried one of the insect soap recipes on here and they are no longer active. I pruned some of the branches and yellowed leaves. There are still lady bugs and a large green bug that looks like a leaf. So it did not appear to kill everything off.

Regarding the soil quality...This was my first year so the soil was in ok shape. It is a lot of clay. I mixed in manure and topsoil when preparing the bed. I have been fertilizing with fish emulsion every few weeks.
