How To Bring Plants Outdoors And Indoors Without Bugs?

I have tomato mango and lemon and I want to bring them outdoors so they get more sun, they are not mature plants yet, They have already been watered so I don’t want to water them again with insecticidal soap or anything like that. Is there any way to make sure bugs don’t get to them? would covering them in something or enclosing them help or is that a bad idea? I’m not planting them outside yet but I’m acclimating them from my window to outdoors.

There is a nifty substance- diatomaceous earth- that would work wonders, here!

I can suggest a better long-term solution which is the use of a pebble tray under your plants. Line the trays with waterproof material, add a layer of gravel, and place the pots on top. Keep the gravel moist.
