What is making holes in my peppers?

Our Advice:

This is usually caused by earwigs. Fill a clay pot with straw dusted with PY Insect Dust from Vitax or Woodlice Killer from Doff and place it (upturned) on a cane at the same level as the peppers. When the insects hide in the straw, they are affected by the chemical.
