those mf’s killed my scotch bonnet
Neem oil almost every day and hand kill them all. It’s very time-consuming but only hand temove them. You can also trim it a lot to get rid of the most of them. The only thing I have found to almost solve this is put it outside in the garden. Aphids inside are very hard to eliminate/control…
Outdoors or indoors?
If outdoors with pollinators try ladybugs. If indoors or where no pollinators are, water the plant with imidacloprid.
EDIT: Back when I had a garden space for my peppers, they were constantly infested by whiteflies and I tried neem oil/neem soap/dish soap/sticky traps/whatever the !@#% else that is commonly suggested to no avail. Can’t get ladybugs where I am either so I resorted to imidaclorprid (which I’m aware is terrible for pollinators too, but I didn’t really have bees and the like where I was anyway) which worked a charm.
Mine are outside year round. I have done all of this except the nuclear option someone mentioned. Apparently I’m just really good at growing aphids. I am waiting on the birth of my praying manti. Ladybugs help but fly away. Green lacewings help but not enough.
With that many peppers your not losing the battle. Looks like in door, I say buy some lady bugs.
