Expert Response
Hello,
If it looks like insects or there eggs on the tomato leaves, first blast them off with a strong spray of water then possibly spray with Spinosad or Liquid 7. If its more attached in the leaf or stem of the plant then treat with a vegetable fungicide.
The holes in the basil leaves is either beetle or caterpillar damage. If need be spray with Spinosad.
Always read and follow label instructions.
