Bugs got hit with a torch this time!

Upon inspecting my chile plants today I found several with a bug infestation... Not sure what bugs they are at the moment.. Any guesses folks? Gave em some neem oil for treatment and see how they are in a day or two...

Did an image search and of all the aphid pics i seen, these don't match... You could be right, so thats why i hit em with the Neem oil just in case...
 
1.) Hitting "play" on vid  = visual ipecac.  :sick:
 
2.) You're a better man than I. (I would've used a hammer.)
 
3.) Neem is good, but use something else, too. I had aphids on my OWs this year, and the only success I had in getting them under control was to mix it up and use several methods. Manual picking with a Q-tip, pyrethrin, neem, peppermint oil etc. Keep hitting' 'em (probably don't use a hammer, though) on all fronts and they won't even want to live with you anymore. 
     Indoor infestations are really tough. IPM is important. Good luck!
