• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Peppers and Tomato?

When the plants are still young I take my thumbnail and actually scrape the little bastards out of the leaf. You can typically see a yellow or tan-colored spot at the end of the trail where the larvae are located. I scrape over that until the yellow bugger pops out and squish him good. After the plants get about 2.5 feet tall I stop worrying about it. It is almost exclusively cosmetic damage after they have enough leaves growing.


ah ok, yeah I just smush them through the leaf with my nail. didn't know if maybe you had a secret hands off method to get rid of and prevent them too. ah well, things we put up with.
