Hi, Marcy!
Yes, Maria Thun is probably THE expert on biodynamic peppers.
The peppers often have dramatic results with insects but I think that
they work much slower with larger animals, like deer and coyotes,
taking many applications across many years to have an effect.
Insects, though, usually clear within 24 hours of pepper application.
I think this is something that is best discussed off-line, so Rivka
and Marcy, feel free to contact me directly:

Thanks Allan in WV
