Thank you for your question. Your state's Extension service has many publications on controlling leafminers, whose species varies among plants. Just type in 'leafminer ipm site:edu' to find them. Here is just one: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/r280300911.html

If other species are infested, you can find articles on them, as well. Good luck!
