To keep caterpillars out you have to keep the butterflies out. They tend to eat where they are born (mummy chooses a nice plant for them to eat, and she's the boss). Fine netting will do the trick, as will a rocksalt-loaded shotgun... or a tennis racket....

Failing that, send the cat on safari....

  Let them live!  You'll have a barren, well-chobbled garden, but you'll be rich in Karma.  They're only children, after all.  And If you killed all children, because they're pests, you'd be eating your dinner with Ian Huntley, by now.

if it's the small one it did nothing for me when I tried it.


remember the pic of my 8x6 one after a slight blow in Aug?

better still squish the eggs as soon as you see them (normally small dots on the underside of the leaves)

was considering putting it in the sheltered area of the garden, but it won't get much sun so only really useful when it is raining bad..

Those are very good for cooking your plants.... unless you leave the door open in which case they get cold and full of beasties....

Look about for old net curtains and bits of bamboo... or tell Elnom that it's a Star Trek Monitoring Station he has to build for you....
