pests Bug Damage...

[Josh]

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you know what might have caused the damage to these peppers. I keep finding a few damaged pods here and there on my 7 Pod plant. I have plenty of pods but if it is something as simple as sprinkling some egg shells or a bit of DE I will do it. I didn't feel like going out there tonight to do any hunting so I will have to do that tomorrow. Just figured I would throw up a pic and see what you guys think.

The bugs must be pretty keen to munch on your 7Pots whatever they are.

I had a couple of pods that have the same damage Josh and folks said slugs. I set out some traps for them but never caught anything. I ended up moving the plant.

Hey Josh, cut the pods open and see if you find any pests inside.

Thanks for the input guys. I will have to do some hunting tonight.

Too late. I already threw them in the garbage. I will take a look in future pods though.

If you see slugs, try "Sluggo" or another iron phosphate product. Traps didn't work for me but iron phosphate did.
