    I had this going on in my backyard one summer. Nearly killed my pepper plants but one application on pyrethrin luckily stopped it.

      Dish soap diluted in water also works and is pollinator friendly.

      Just a little bit of soap, a few drops in an old cleaner spray bottle filled with water should do it. Too much and you risk sun-burning the plants.

        Yeah, when I first started growing peppers I did this and nearly killed a bunch of plants because I used too much.

        It only takes a tiny bit and works wonders.
