Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

I am having major issues with my chilli and capsicums in that something is eating the fruit completely. I had a nice chilli plant with lots of green fruit on it and now it is almost completely bare of fruit, whatever it is is also eating capsicums too. I suspected it was possum so I fenced the plants in with a chicken type wire and I put some netting over the top however whatever it is is still getting the fruit. I have spotted possums around there at night so perhaps they are picking the fruit through the netting. Any ideas on what it is and how ti stop them?
