There could be a number of culprits. My first thought was earwig or slugs from the look of the leaves. It may be possible that your pepper is a host plant.

I put neem oil on my kale and as long as I am consistent and they get soaked w it, things look good 🤞🏻

Why is it that they leave the tomato’s and zucchini alone?
