Cabbage white butterflies have found my brassicas hidden amongst the

Bare hands?
Put them in a jam jar and drown them?


How can you drown a creature? A quick death is better, well I think so.


It is but if pounding them to a pulp isn't an option ... what else is
there? Release them into the wild miles away from your cabbages.
