Today I noticed a healthy pod on the ground next to my Ethiopian Brown Berbere, then I looked at the plant and every...single...pod is gone with a chewed off stem remaining, this plant is a bush and I have been waiting on about 40 pods to ripen, many of which were ripe and I was saving for seeds. I live in a pest-controlled apartment and I have not had any problem like this up to this point. Upon investigation I found a giant pile of chewed up peppers near the plant in a cinder block. I will be setting mouse traps tonight. This blows any insect pest out of the water.
