Well, just when I'd beaten the flea beetles...

Went out today to water, and saw a serious infestation on my Betony -
bugs all over the flowers (two plants; two locations).  They also seemed
to like the peppers (but may have just been resting there).

Looked them up in my Rodale's insect guide - they're the Negro Bug
(Corimelaena pulicaria).  No treatment is listed.

I tried a Rotenone/Pyrethrum mixture and they just laughed in my face.

Can anyone suggest a quick (and organic) way to get rid of these
things??????

The peppers are just starting to produce - I have hundreds and hundreds,
some already quite hot (though still green - all but one thai hot -
yow!!!) - and got my first habby today!  Mmmmmmmmm.

I certainly would appreciate any help!

TIA,

Robert.
