When we brought our Tabasco pepper plants inside this fall, it didn’t take long to see the aphids all over the leaves. We tried a (non-toxic) spray but they kept reappearing.
Then one day I noticed a ladybug trapped in our house trying to get out a closed window, and it occurred to me there was an easier way to solve the pest problem.
Two ladybugs are now relocated to our plants, and seem to be very happy munching up the aphids for us.
