 o
Budworm?

Posted by thefof NSW Aust (My Page) on

I have various types of peppers and chillis growing in the garden. The chillis, Thai bell and Birdseye, are fine, but every variety of sweet pepper is infected with small caterpillers.

My local garden centre has suggested it might be budworm, and could be any one of dozens of math larvae.

I really don't want to use any chemical insectecide as I like to eat the products. In view of the fact that they don't touch the chilli, would a spray made from them help? If so, how does one make it?

Thanks all

Fof

You could use Dipel, which is a biological treatment and only affects caterpillars.
