As the title says, my reapers could not ripen properly. Every fruit has at least 1 maggot inside unsure is it: 1. Rotten then eggs laid 2. Eggs laid cause rotten
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Doesn’t look like blossom end rot, I wonder if whatever is laying the eggs is your culprit. You could try getting those garden netting bags people use for isolating pepper crosses and wrap up a few peppers to see if they can ripen without pests picking at them.

Two words, neem oil. Look it up, find a product with it or get the concentrate and mix in a sprayer yourself. Coat the plants, including spraying the underside of the leaves.
