They should be able to out grow beetle and grasshopper damage. Or they should have enough leaves to make up for the holes and missing pieces. It won't matter that the fan leaves are not perfect. The beetles will eventually stop and the plant will grow.

If the plants are not big enough to thrive with the missing leaves or holes then get some Spectracide Immunox Plus and spray them. Yes it is chemical but it is safe especially in veg. It will initially stop the beetles from feeding. Then it kills them.

If they are still growing and you just don't like seeing holes and leaf damage I would leave them alone.

Somebody will come along with some organic solution if that is what you prefer.

Spinosad will do it, at least it knocks down lepidoptera and orthoptera for me. I use this stuff,



it's organic; however some care should be taken when using it around water, and it's possible it could harm bees. These weren't an issue in my applications. hth, good luck!
