Help with Mystery Pest and Holes?

Hi folks,

Ive been growing jalapenos for a year+ which occasionally developed these holes, but they havent gotten to my nicer peppers until now. Aside from the first pic, which is old jalapeno plants, the other plants were started this year:

Destroyed jalapeno leaf:

For pest control, I treat heavily with Neem Oil every 5-7 days. I examine leaves every day for pests top and bottom, and have never found anything that looks to be causing these holes. I had a small number of whiteflies awhilw back, but those are obvious and succumbed to the Neem Oil.

I could really use help IDing and controlling these. Dont want my plants to end up like the first pic.

Thanks!

Get a spray bottle and fill it with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. The type of vinegar doesn't matter. Spray the plant all over. You can even add a dash of dish soap if you like. Repeat when needed. Hope this helps. Should keep all pests away
Thanks - I will give this a try.

I really wonder what is causing it.
