I need some serious help with bell peppers. I grow them very well in a raised organic bed. Every night my perfect peppers get eaten and I cannot stop it. This is not an animal like a mouse or bird because this is in a raised bed with traps and I have netted it several nights as an experiment.
I have gone out at night and I have NEVER seen a single pest. I have no idea what it is. Sluggo is the only thing that seems to help but lately it has not been 100%, probably due to daily watering. I have tried BT and neem with little to no effect. I also have a soap mixture that kills everything on contact, but unsurprisingly it doesn't help since I have never seen the pests. Sometimes there is noticeable soil disturbances in a single spot in the bed.
How on earth does anyone grow bell peppers? This happens to me every yr and I'm ready to give up. I can keep using Sluggo but at this rate, I'll need to use it almost every other day and it gets expensive.

Why do you have traps in an outdoor garden bed really just seems unessesscary but spraying your plants with 1tbsb hot sauce per half gallon would probably do the trick it looks like squirrel damage
