Hello All I am new, can someone please tell me what these tiny insects are and how to control them without using harsh chemicals. I was told they are Aphids and asked to use 3 parts of water with 1 part of vinegar and spray for 3 days. This seems to have reduced but not removed them. Thanks in advance
They are on my chilli Plant, so far the plant is healthy.

Hi Anil Thomas , yes, pretty sure that these are Aphids - please click on the link and have a look at Plantix library for more information, e.g. Neem oil is an organic treatment that is pretty effective. Hope that helps.
Do you have a question too?

Anil Thomas Yeah Rob is right . Some organic methods are given below to control these aphids . 1. Physical Removal For minor infestations of aphids, it may be possible to physically remove the insects from your plants. 2. Water Pressure It is possible to spray aphids off of plants with the simple application of a garden hose. 3. Soap and Water The basic nature of mild household detergents makes them perfect for getting rid of mild to moderate aphid infestations. Dilute a few tablespoons of dish soap in a small bucket of lukewarm water and use a sponge or spray bottle to apply the mixture to plants where aphids have taken hold. 4. Neem Oil Used in much the same way as dish soap, organic and pure Neem oil may be diluted in water and sprayed onto plant.

This looks like white flies than aphid. Seems to always attracted to my chilli plants. Use neem oil mixed with a little shampoo in water and spray regularly. For prevention try fly trap.
