I even got the winged bastards now. This one was sucking on my Bird's Eye and giving birth at the same time. Horrid.
 
It's an ongoing battle for me.

Ants love cat food, don't ask how I know! Summer long fight every year! When do you guys start getting bombarded from aphids and thrips? Curious so I can be preemptive about it and lay some prevention methods out. It's my first veg garden grow and want to be on my toes so as to have a bountiful harvest and vigorous plants.

I found my aphids about 3 weeks after I brought my OW Tabasco plant inside. Probably around 3rd week in November. To tell the truth, I never really checked my plants when it was growing season, so I don’t know if they were in my garden.

Here's a site I find myself referring to often in my gardening that may help answer some of your questions.  It's a fairly concise compendium of garden pests, how to identify, what to do to eradicate and how to prevent.  It's a great reference for beginner gardeners and experienced gardeners alike.

The company is actually collecting data for a future app that could, potentially, warn of future outbreaks, based on the reports they've received and environmental conditions in that region.  It's kind of a neat idea.  It's a huge undertaking and I hope they actually get the app up and running.

That's a really useful link.  You should add it to "The Pest Guide" topic in this forum.
