Of all of my plants, my peppers seem to get attacked the most. They have thripes, spider mites, and leaf miner issues, and it's hard to stay on top of it all. You may have different insects in VA than we do here. I've never seen any round white eggs on my peppers.

Good luck to you!

Get an insecticidal soap spray and spray the underside of your leaves thoroughly. Should take care of whatever critter you have.

Not so good advice from hathery. First, insecticidal soap should not be recommended unless the ID of the pest is certain. Second,a soap product is only effective when it come into actual contact with a susceptible insect while still wet. Third, soap products aren't particularly effective against insect eggs. Fourth, these eggs might very well be those of a non-pest. Fifth, insecticidal soap is a broad spectrum pesticide and should never be used indiscriminately for 'whatever' critters.

Insecticidal soap is a pesticide? Really? Safer Insecticidal Soap's only active ingredient is potassium salt of fatty acids. How is that a pesticide? And for that reason it hardly works as well as true pesticides, which I try to stay away from

A pesticide is the correct and accurate term for a product that is manufactured to kill (cide) pests of any kind. A pesticide may be directed toward weeds (as in herbicide), fungal diseases (fungicide), or insects (insecticide). There are also miticides, rodenticides, and on and on.

Even though a product is labeled as 'organic', it is still considered a pesticide. Don't be put off by the terminology. As a matter of fact, insecticidal soap is considered a broad spectrum pesticide. To think of it as otherwise puts non-target insects at risk.

"Really?" Yep, really. You are using an organic pesticide (an insecticide), like it or not.

You may be using vinegar as an herbicide. Or baking soda as a fungicide. And, of course, there is a large list of products that are accepted as appropriate for those who are organic growers. The organic stamp of approval does not make them non-pesticides, it just means that they probably have a lower residual effect, or a more directed target, etc.
