The chemical compound that makes Chilli and Pepper 'hot' is known as Capsaicin. This compound is toxic to insects and therefore can be used as an insecticide.

Interestingly, Capsaicin is also used in pepper spray and utilises the same pain pathway and nocireceptors as the venom of a tarantula.

Enjoy!
