Neem oil works great.

I had an awful time with these guys last year. Soapy water does work, although I'm not sure of the soap amount. You can google it. A simple spray of the hose was suggested to me, but often the spray is too powerful. Give it a try and see. I also got a great sense of satisfaction by simply pinching them.

Two other things I have heard of are garlic spray (made by a mixture of choppped garlic and olive oil, then diluted with water) and tomato spray (which is made from the leaves of a tomato). Both are organic, and only take a few minutes to make. If I remember right, they kind of attack and "melt" them. Althogh, don't aply the garlic spray downwind. Ugh.

Hope that helps, Kim

It's not organic, but Raid Earth Options Insecticidal Soap worked for my potted habanero plant. I treated it twice and have been aphid free for weeks.

I second neem oil.

Dr. Bronners Soap works well. Do not use anti-bacterial soap. I also planted some marigold around my peppers and they seemed to help too.

As for garlic, I have heard of garlic for fungus but never for bugs. You learn something new every day.

Rubbing alchol and water sprayed on the leaves and dirt worked great for me last year.
