Help please, I have an abundance of peppers in my greenhouse, but almost everyone of them has had a small hole bored into them and the chillies have deformed from the holes. Now I find that the bell peppers have them too. Anyone know what bug it is and how to treat with fruiting tomatoes in close vacinity

slugs and woodlice have been found in my peppers in the past. so that may be another suspect. not alot to stop woodlice, just slug pellets for the slimy ones. :o)

I had the same in my sweet peppers in the greenhouse and they rotted. I actually found a small slug inside one of them after I had picked it so it could be them doing the damage.
