Bell Pepper Plants

My bell peppers are covered with a clear sticky substance, also tiny white (almost clear) spots. The leaves seem to be affected also, but not as much as the actual peppers. I’m in southwest Arizona. I have destroyed the plants this year, but wonder if there is something I could do to prevent this again.
