Hello forum long time no see.
Little black beetles are eating my eggplant leaves. As recommended by a friend I have been spraying the plants with a water, hot sauce, dish soap mixture it works but not very well. I need an inexpensive solution for this annoying problem before I rip my hair out. scream

They might be flea beetles. I don't know of any organic remedy for those. neutral

Try diatomaceous earth, (made from diatoms) available from most garden centers.
