Maggots in Tomatoes

[NSB]

This is my frst time on the grapevine.

I have blue maggots that have burrowed in my unripe tomatoes, I have never had this before. Has anyone got any suggestions, I have removed the infected tomatoes, any suggestions on what to do now.

tomato moth probably..i had a plague of them last year but no sign so far this year. they ate the leaves and the fruit. only thing i did was pick them off when i found them but they did a huge amount of damage

Thanks for replying, did you spray the other tomatoes with anything?

I think I had tomato moth a couple of years ago but it was only on a couple of plants. I seem to recall the damage was caused by caterpillars rather than burrowing maggots and they eat the leaves/fruit from the outside in. If I remember correctly it was late August that they turned up, but it didn't really matter because there was a serious outbreak of tomato wilt shortly afterwards and there wasn't a tomato plant left on the whole site within a week or so.
