Phil, yes I've heard of Capsicum extract being used for insect control.
Some limited treatments were done in the Desert Botanical Garden's rare
plant greenhouse. The stuff is similar to the noxious brew in those
"Cap-stun" personal defense ("mace") squirters. Supposedly does work,
though I've not used it myself, and with CP, who knows. Better drag out
a statistically significant sample of spare plants and do an experiment!
