These insects are plaguing the hot pepper plants in our greenhouse, and last year they killed the pepper plants that we brought indoors. I haven't noticed them being a problem when it was warmer out, I'm assuming the ladybugs were keeping them down.

How best to deal with them? We have an insecticidal soap that didn't work last year, tobacco plants that I could probably extract nicotine from, or I'm open to buying something if someone has a recommendation.

I live in Alberta, I think we're zone 3, if it helps
