Cabbage white fly

[Snadger]

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

Finger and fumb is my treatment.

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

Don't know whether its the cold weather but they seem to have 'disappeared' fom my lottie?

Either that, or they've just had their fill and left!!!!

We're cold, but the little b******rs are still there on the underside of the leaves
