Bummer! I bought some captain jack spray, what should I do?

The fastest way is to hand pick off the caterpillars and catapult them outside. They should be close by the plant.

I’ve seen people make moth decoys out of white plastic jugs. Cut to look like the cabbage white moths, add the black dot on the wings. Then you glue them to a straight wire so they “fly”above the plants and hopefully actual moths don’t lay eggs on your plants.

‘Frass’ is the term entomologists use to describe the poo poo 💩
