Basil works as a companion plant to keep pests away from tomatoes.
You could try those.
Birds may eat roli polis. To attract birds, put out a feeder. Beware, birds will also nibble on your tomatoes. Protect these with bird netting.
Look for natural predators of bugs. Lizards, perhaps?
Homemade non-chemical spray:
1 Qt of water
several drops of dishwashing liquid
about 1 cigarette or equivalent amount of tobacco. Soak all ingredients, then strain through sieve or cheese cloth.
Spray plants.
I would use Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) but you may not want to. So spray the area with this one of these solutions from Jerry Baker.
Basic Oil Mixture
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp. Murphy’s Oil Soap
Pour the oil and oil soap into a plastic bottle, and store at room temperature. Mix 1 tbsp. of the mixture in 2 cups of water in a hand-held sprayer bottle. Spray pest ridden plants from top to bottom.
Bug Spray - Tabasco Tonic
1 c liquid dish soap
1 c tobacco tea *
1 c antiseptic mouthwash
1/4 c Tabasco Sauce
Mix ingredients in a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer, filling the balance of the sprayer jar with warm water.
* Tobacco Tea
Place 3 fingers of chewing tobacco in a nylon stocking and soak it in a gallon of hot water until the mixture is dark brown.
Put down some diatomaceous earth, you can get it at a garden center. It is organic and bugs that crawl in it die. Won’t hurt animals or kids or your veggies. Package may say diatom.
