What’s eating my chillies?

Hi all - I just can’t work out what’s causing these little holes on my chillies. Seems too small for a mouse and I can’t see any signs of slugs or other insects. Any ideas? Thanks x

    You would be surprised as to what the woodlice will and can do!
    If you pick one into a container maybe a woodlouse will fall out.
    They cause us a lot of problems where we wouldn't expect to have them.

    No sorry but woodlice get all over the place and without using chemicals (not what you want in a eating place) they will still be there.
    Also check that you haven't got snails lurking...I found 8 underneath the batten in the polytunnel today waiting for "dinner".
