I have got my cabbages growing well and covered
with a net to keep pests off, (mainly Pigeons)

This morning I noticed a lot of white butterflies had got
in, not wanting said cabbages to be covered in caterpillars
I filled my spay bottle with soapy water (Fairy liquid) and
sprayed over the cabbages, hoping this would make them
less attractive for them and also directing the spray at
the butterflies whenever possible.

A short time later I saw that the b/flies had got out and
flown off but the ones that I hit with the spray where
laying on the ground dead.

Fairy liquid is fast becoming my best friend.
