Since you’re going to eat your produce, you don’t want to use anything toxic obviously. Vendors like Gardens Alive! sell these soaps or you may find them at a garden center (Safer is a popular brand). You can make a spray fairly easily. Fill a clean spray bottle or garden sprayer with tap water and add a couple of squirts of a liquid soap (Ivory dish soap is my favorite, but any will do. Just don’t get one with a lot of additives). Douse the affected areas heavily---until the solution is dripping off, let sit briefly then hose off with clear water. The soap acts as a surfactant and clogs up the respiration of insects. It will also serve to wash off eggs.
You may have to repeat this process as you will get the visible insects but could get new hatchings. Just check your plants each day, remove cracked or discolored fruit (flys like a crack in a tomato as a place to congregate). Remember to wash produce thoroughly after harvest.
Diatomaceous Earth is a wonderful thing and it is not poison and it will not hurt your plants nor animals. You can read more about it here:
