You've got a totally different set of problems than I do, I have to do everything I can to get my peppers warm enough and I still get iffy fruit set in organza bags. This year I'm doing full isolation cages over the ones I'm serious about, thinking the bigger area will help.

Personally I'd probably try doing cages with insect weight row cover cloth and see what happens, but if they're rare ones you don't have replacement seeds for you might not want to risk that either. IMO, Better to get fruit set and deal with potential crosses, the odds of everything being crossed if you save from multiple fruits are pretty slim.

But just my opinion there.
