Sorry can't help with fumigating advice as I don't.

Some years are worse than others for them, generally I just squish any caterpillars I can find to stop them overwintering and breeding. They can also be found on pepper, potato and aubergine plants, but mostly tomatoes.

Possibly... I never go there as it will kill any friends like hibernating ladybirds.. I prefer rotation as I said above.. but not everybody has the luxury o several greenhouses..
