Post Cabbage white fly

There seems to be a lot of cabbage white fly around this year, possibly caused by the mild Autumn.

RHS site below gives some handy information!

Thanks for the useful tip Snadger - I'm sure that everyone will find it very useful. Shame my cabbages were eaten by the cabbage white butterflies earlier in the year! It seems to me that its a very dangerous life being a cabbage! DDL

Someone suggested hoovering them up - might work if in the greenhouse, but I'd feel a fool taking the hoover to the lottie, plus no electric supply
