Plant being eaten what should I do?

[pikeyz]

I have 6 plants, and only 1 of them is being eaten, it's in the middle of all the others too :s
I looked under the leaves an couldn't see anything, I don't have a magnifying glass so if they was that small I may just not b able to see them.
I read somewhere to spray under the leaves,it wont kill them but will make for unhappy living for them and stop them spreading and breeding or something, so I've done this and was thinking to buy some ladybirds to kill whatever it is.
I've looked it is only on these 2-3 leaves and on no other plants.
I'm going to bleach the room tomorrow, floor and walls, might not help but it's just another thing I've read to do.
Any help would be great guys!

buy a habenero, chop it and boil it in water with seeds for a half hour. strain the solid stuff out and let it cool. pour it into a spray bottle and spray it on your plants once every 3 days. they will die after a couple weeks I promise. try not to spray any buds if possible. peace man.

Thank you mate, am going to do this as soon as the shop opens to buy a habanero, tyvm!

np, ive been using it for a while. Like i said just try not to get the buds wet, to prevent mold. its best to get a control before flowering, but hey you gotta learn some time. Another thing you could do is the next step, in your flowering chamber, you have a small ghost pepper plant(its like 1milionX hotter than haberneros) in your flowering box. There will never be a bug inside your box. I have a couple seeds germin right now for it. Some old dude I know told me, he just farms veggies, but still... he said he doesnt ever get rodents in his outdoor garden because they smell the intensity of the fruit.

Will do bro, thanx for that advice is good to know I'll get a pepper plant and stick it in the middle of my crop next time and hopefully will get no pests again.

Should I spray every plant or just the plant(s) that have been getting eaten?

The first step in treating any pest/insect problem is proper identification. Applying the wrong type of product can sometimes cause unwanted "collateral damage" of desireable insects that keep damaging pests in check. A good example would be control of spider mites with use of a broad-spectrum insecticide/miticide that also kills predatory mites. This can result in a pest-population that is resistant to conventional control methods. Try to post a picture of any pest(s) you may find. The skelotonizing of the leaves in the pics above indicate that it may be a type of caterpillar but cannot be confirmed until better pics are seen for identification as this may not be an insect problem at all. Arbitrary application of insecticides is never advised.

probably all of them because they will just migrate. spraying inside your box might be a good idea too.

I've looked cant find anything at all, I'll take another look tomorrow when I bleach the room.
How/where can you give me any ideas to look that may not be the obvious place?

Right ok thanx
