Tomato leaf miner moth

My tomatoes under glass are being attacked by these moths called Tuta absoluta (tomato leaf miner). They leave a pin sized hole in my tomato but inside the tomato they appear to breed! I cut open one Roma and found a few which flew out in my kitchen. Is there any defence I can use to prevent further attacks and infestations?

I did come across this article from DEFRA which gives lots of info and how to control them-

Good luck!
