All of my chillis on a kitchen windowsill are getting munched, particularly the flowers 
Should I move them outside to a shelterd patio and hope they provide lunch for some ladybirds?
and, thinking laterally as I can't rub them off the flowers, what options for spraying are there from the friendly organic to the nuke 'em options? Probably a silly question, but what would happen if I used ordinary flyspray on them?
Thanks

I wouldn't fancy eating produce from a plant that has been sprayed with flyspray - you have no idea whether it will be absorbed in to the plant and persist or not so i wouldn't take the chance.

leaving them outside during the day may help if you have hoverflies or other bugs come to pay a visit. If you can find a ladybird or its larvae they will do you a favour too!

Put a tiny bit of washing up liquid in a spray bottle and fill with water, spray them with that it won't harm the fruit and the soap kills the green fly by drowning them .. mwhaa haaa.

I was inundated with millions for green fly after a week away end of May so I had to use a bug spray.

Carefull if you do end up using a bug spray as some cant be used with open flowers. Make sure you check the bottle. I had them on mine and squashed them when they were on the young leaves. They will go onto them eventually. Washing up liquid spray is good too. Good luck.

I made sure it could be used..

Thanks all - have put them outside and off to the plot to search out a few ladybirds and bring them home  - Dinner is served (hopefully)!

Ladybird larvae do an awesome job of cleaning up aphid infested plants
