Hey I new to The Forum and I'm pretty new to gardening. I'm having a lot of trouble with pests right now and other problems. I help people in their Gardens but this is the first Garden I planted myself. Right now most of my plants are being eaten. However I can't figure out the culprit. The three types of bugs I've seen out in my garden are cockroaches earwigs and a small black beetle which I don't know which kind it is. I've to put out Slug and snail bait and used a couple different pesticides including a tobacco soap spray also I put it out canning jars with oil and corn syrup and a little bit of fish oil to Trap bugs as well but everything still being eaten from my jalapenos bell peppers basil artichokes raspberries blackberries tomatoes Also my Big Boy tomato plant all the leaves seem to be curling and turning around and I have no idea why or what to do about it. If anybody could give me some pointers Maybe what I can do for pest control or things I hadn't thought of. I would greatly appreciate it I've attached some photos of the raspberry leaves being eaten and the tomato leaves curling .thank you.

Actually your plants look in pretty good shape. Of the few leaves that have been chewed on it isn't enough to worry about and the curled leaves is probably caused by weather changes. On the chewed on leaves I suspect that your culprit only comes out at night and I would bet that your visitors are crickets. Spraying with a spinosad based pesticide will take care of them and any other sucking or chewing insect you may encounter and it is organic.
