Thanks so much everyone! I don't know what zone I'm in...I'm located in Boone, NC though - the mountains of North Carolina. I'm going to order some lady bugs - even though I sprayed yesterday I think if I release them after a good water spraying It might be worth it.
I'm not going to use...
So about a week ago I noticed one pepper plant struggling with its new growth, and sure enough it turned out to be aphids crawling around. I isolated the plant and sprayed it with Capn Jacks Organic Spray. This didn't work so I tried Malathion...the pesticide.
Now the aphids are on about 40%...
