I'll give it a few days and check and see if they have diminished or gone and let you know if it works. Maybe the reason there were none I could find on my tomatoes is because of the application of food grade DE to all of my tomato plants in an effort to stop spider mites. I guess next time I spray DE on my tomatoes I'll go ahead and put it on my bell peppers also. Maybe it will help with the sun scald problems I am having on them like it did on the tomatoes.
