First couple years of growing peppers, I had 0 aphids. This year was going fine, then the little woman put some flowers she purchased at the store next to my indoor peppers. Within a week my peppers were covered. grrrr... I ordered a load of Lady bugs, they will be here in a couple of days. Sprayed them with soap water, they don't seem to mind. This morning I saw a single lady bug on my red savina. Been watching it on and off today. Seems to be enjoying the feast. Wish it would bring some friends to the party

This stuff did wonders for my aphid/mite problems, and provides sulphur to the pepper plants as an added bonus...

I used actual sulphur dust to treat them. Although over the winter they got nasty inside and my brain strain is still recovering.
