I'm overwintering my jalapeno plant indoors and after pruning it and placing it in a pot all these tiny bugs began appearing where new growth emerges.

    Aphids. This is why I keep my peppers in the garage, dormant. I’m sure you will get lots of advice how to get rid of them. Nothing beats the thumb and forefinger

    Help! I have them too on my chilis… I dont have any access to neem oil…😭

    Start with a spray bottle of water with a tiny drop of dish soap in it. If that doesn’t make a difference after a couple of days, then I would go with neem oil. You could also get some ladybugs from your local garden store, release them at sunset, and watch the cutest carnivores on earth chow down.

    Ladybugs will feast on those. You can get them from nurseries or online.

    Aphids. Coat the entire plant liberally with insecticidal soap. Make sure to get the top and bottoms of the leaves. It’s always worked for me

    if u dont wana ladybug em. cuz its iffy , i think

    drop 1 (one) drop of liquid dish soap in a spray bottle. shake that. spray it on them

    it sufficates. do it 2x a day for like a week

    also, just squish em with you fingies

  7. If theres only this much per plant, just take them outside and gently hose them off, spray with soapy water mix if you want but aphids are pretty easy to get rid of when theres only this many
