Flea beetles

[chillilover]

I had some flea beetles take out a cherry tomato plant last year but never bothered my peppers. This year I noticed a few on my fatali which happens to be in the same spot where the tomato was last year. Any ways to kill them or control them?

Apparently spraying them with a solution of garlic in water keeps them away. Same with mint. I'm trying it on "normal veg" so will post up as and when.
