Ants are Eating Holes in Tomato Plants

We are having trouble with holes in our tomatoes. It looks as if ants are eating them. We have sprayed them with an organic spray and with Ortho, but are still having trouble with this. Can you give us an solution?

I've never tried this in the garden, but there are certain things ants don't like to step on, like cayenne pepper and baby powder. You might try sprinkling one of those around the tomato plants. I found that a little does not go a long way. It helps to use a lot.
