So lately I had discovered that I have pepper Maggots in some of my peppers. Bummer.

You cut open a pepper and it has black centers. But more often it just rots from the bacteria that enter from the wound scar that the fly makes to lay the egg. The rotted ones always have small white worms inside.

Favorite pepper in my garden are the Midas and I have not gotten one ripe one and not even a whole green one.

Midas peppers total bust but I am not willing to just give up so I did lots of research in line.

Found this product from Sierra Natural Products called SNS- 209.

Sierra Natural has a long line of Natural and safe bio control so I am trying this one. First application today.

We will see if it works but really I have not got anything much to loose by giving it a try.

I don't use toxic stuff in my veggie garden so really pleased to try sns 209.
