Anyone know what this is? Just noticed them on my Ghost Pepper plant.

Looks like a bad case of aphids. Ladybugs work great for getting rid of them.

meathead beat me to it....aphids!

+1 Aphids... A combo of Ladybugs and neem oil will work wonders on getting rid of it.

Oh man, where do I get ladybugs?

Those bastards destroyed my squash crop this year. But (knock on wood) they never made it over to my peppers

I see that I can get ladybugs on amazon

Just bought me some lady bugs.

Your gonna need more than ladybugs for that infestation :flamethrower:

juanitos · Aug 21, 2014

i pulled off the worst few leaves and threw em far far away when i had this problem earlier.

Whilst waiting for your lady bugs to arrive i suggest the use of temporary measures to control those aphids. They will suck the life out of your plants.

DamonlBeaty · Aug 22, 2014

Also sprayed them down with a dish soap cocktail...waiting for ladybugs...

SirFitzalot · Aug 22, 2014

Dish soap cocktail, they make a spray that kills them and yeah the lady bugs will do wonders.

Beelzeboss · Aug 27, 2014

you should raise the lady bugs, the younger stage of them are really hungry and go nuts on those aphids, the adults too but not like the younger ones, i would use insecticidal soap and some neem oil for now.

LUCKYDOG · Aug 27, 2014

Neem those bastages

DamonlBeaty · Aug 27, 2014

I have released the Ladybugs!

Hopefully they will lay some eggs and they stick around! Will neem hurt these little ladies?
