RE: What's Eating my Chilli Plants?

in HiveGardenlast year

You're going to need some pesticide. You can always try spraying in down with neem oil mixed with mild dish soap, that will kill most insects. But if that doesn't do the job go for the big guns. I hate it when pests attack my peppers, they are my favorite plants in my garden!

Yes, I might try the organic mixture first. Thanks.

That combo works well for me, but my biggest problem here tends to be aphids. The neem oil tends to repel pests as well as kill them, the lipids shut down their ability to breath which is why adding some dilute mild dish soap is a great addition.
