Definitely leaf miners.
Yellow sticky traps. The flies that lay the leafminer larvae are strongly attracted to the bright yellow and they stick to the glue. I put them out at plant level every 5 feet.

Make sure to get the Seabright labs brand, others are too sticky and will capture birds and pull out feathers. I learned that the hard way!

I get them on Amazon, about $17 for a pack of 15. I buy 3 at a time to get the free shipping, it doesn't spoil on a shelf.
