Why are my peppers not producing?

Pepper plants have problems setting fruit when the daytime air temperatures are above 90 degrees and nighttime temperatures are above 75. When they don’t set fruit the blossoms fall off the plant. If this is the problem, when temperatures cool down they will set fruit. Another problem may be a lack of pollinators. Peppers are pollinated by insects. Pollinator plants like flowers will attract bees that will pollinate the peppers while they are there.
