    PS. They didn’t touch the peppers…just the leaves!

  2. That is classic deer damage. I’ve seen it many times.

    I’ve had some kind of grasshopper eating my pepper ants, and tomatoes….. Little bastards

    Mine looked similar and turned out to be a rat. He comes back every night and ONLY goes for the pepper plants. I’m still trying to get him – or more likely, them.

    Rabbits were getting mine , so I put a chicken wire basket around them. Problem solved.

    I had horn worms. 5 of them. Just 1 can butcher a fully grown pepper plant so 5 or more will leave a stripped stem in the morning where a lush bush was yesterday afternoon.

    sorry man got hungry, saved some for the kids at home too

  8. Its hard to say without knowing what region you live in but I am in zone 8A and have a green bell pepper plant that looks just like yours at this point…. my culprit was hornworms. My solution… check garden morning and evening for them and feed them to the chickens, also spraying a solution of dawn soap, water and a little isopropyl alcohol! on soil and on top and under leaves – I dont do this during the day though because it will burn leaves. hope this helps <3

    Packrat or deer.

    Hot peppers seem to be catnip to them. Ugh.

    People are saying deer, but my money is on hornworms. Head our at night with a blacklight or UV flashlight to look for them. Or look for the weird octagon shaped poops.

    It’s deer.. They finally came and “topped” my Tomato plants two nights ago, after no sign of them all Summer.

    Me bruh, tasted like crap too. I just ate them so you couldn’t have them

    This exact thing happened to my shishitos earlier this summer!!! So weird! Whoever it was didn’t go for any other peppers, but accidentally bit into a jalapeño that was also growing in the same pot! At least that is what our theory is. It only happened that once and haven’t been back. The shishito is finally recovering now.

    Grasshoppers decimated one of mine overnight a few days ago
