Had a look at the sprouts yesterday, and they had caterpillars on
them! How the hell can I stop that?

Get some Stergene, used for washing woollens, mix with water and put
into a hand sprayer, spray sprouts. Make sure you spray into all
nooks and crevices. You may have to repeat the process a couple of
times.

Better than washing up liquid?
