The ones in my front garden, I pick them off and fling them into the road. Elsewhere, they are picked off into a pot of water and poured into the compost bin once they stop wriggling.

Would something really smelly (grow marigolds, spray with garlic/chilli) mask the brassica scent do you reckon? I'm picking caterpillars off daily and it's no easy task!
