Flea Beetle Tomato's

So noticed a bunch of holes in my Tomato's yesterday, what it looks like is Flea Beetle :( Applied Diatomaceous earth as subscribed by some sites.

Those holes don't look like the tiny holes in my tomato plants that were made by flea beetles. I used Safer End All insecticide and haven't seem them for a while. The flea beetles decimated most of the bottom leaves, but the plants will soon have another pest, I'm sure.
 
 
 
So have the flea beetles left for good yet? Hopefully they'll be gone before July 1 so my plants can get growing. As for the potato plants and beetles, keep checking the plants as I don't trust the tiny buggers.

I get these flea beetles every year and usually just wait them out and remove bottom leaves. This year I sprayed but still have to remove more and more of the bottom leaves. Good luck with your garden pests.
