Brendo Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Hi there, I've just received & potted up a 7 Pot Chilli, and upon admiring it afterwards I noticed these tiny white critters hanging out underneath the leaves, I've counted about 30 so far on different leaves, about 6 or 7 of those are black but they're all of a similar shape. Wondering if anyone can identify them? Here's a photo: Any idea how to eradicate them? I've not introduced it to the rest of the garden and will keep it quarantined for as long as need be. Thanks for your help Edited April 5, 2014 by Brendo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strontium Dawg Posted April 9, 2014 If you've got any tomato plants, crush up some leaves in hot water and spray em with the water, aphids hate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendo Posted April 10, 2014 Really? Unreal! No tomato plants here tho, yet Tons of chilli & capsicum though, will these work as a substitute? I was just going to pick 'em off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
