Given that each female can lay 200 eggs I'm wondering if I should try and repot as many as possible to try and limit the damage?
I also have some pyrethrum based insecticide (for cat fleas etc) which I'm contemplating diluting and using as a drench or spray. Although organic, I'm not happy about doing that, but at the moment all chillies, peppers & aubergines are infested.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
