I can tell you that chile powder does work and does not hurt
the plants, you can either make a 'tea' of it, strain it well
so that it doesn't clog your sprayer, add a couple of drops of
of mild dish soap per gallon to the solution that helps it
adhere to the leaves (optional). Reapply after a rain. I have
also just powdered the leaves with pepper powder and had no ill
side-effects on the plants, but the bugs and deer do not bother
em anymore! Besides my passion for growing big pumpkins, I
also grow 27 varieties of chiles in the garden (600+ plants!)
so I have a good supply of this natural pest control in hand.
