Last year I read that the white moth was territorial. I bought white butterfly cutouts and put the black markings on them. I watched them more than once circle the cabbage and keep going. Never found any caterpillar droppings or the icky green eggs in the leaves. We'll see. I'll do it again this year and we'll see if it was really working or if it was just a coincidence. I put tomato cages in the cabbage and hung them with fishing line.
I thought I’d share this since you mentioned neem oil. I have recently had to do some research for my chickens and my own skin condition. One of My chickens got scaly leg mites and I was looking for natural skin remedy’s and discovers all organic cold pressed pure neem oil as an amazing option. It’s actually not toxic. I use it on my face mixed with coconut oil. It’s incredible! And one treatment of oil dipped over legs of chicken fixed the mite issue! I realized the neem oil at the garden store is not the same as the one is ordered, the garden store verity was only 70 percent neem oil and was certified to be safe for organic gardens . Looked up a few studies and info and apparently it builds collagen improving skin and kills bacteria preventing breakouts etc. Anyway I’m no expert but I’ve had some great non garden results ( and garden ones) and figured I’d use it again in garden so long as it’s the organic one. ( caution to anyone pregnant , should t accidentally consume neem oil )
Thanks so much for another great video. I read that nasturtiums secrete an essential oil which repels the white cabbage moth. So, I planted some nasturtiums around all of my Merritt collards and purple tree collards. I have noticed a significant improvement since planting them. I hope this helps.
nasturtiums attracts all kinds of pest themselves and can be a good victim plant to place close to the desirable plants, so that pests go after nastrimums instead.
Killing or catching them is a total waste of time also keeping them as pet's as you do! I killed 126 last year by swatting them but. There was as many in September as 5 weeks before in August.. This year I'll try chilli and garlic spray!
I have to disagree. Made a dramatic difference in my garden. Sounds like you could use some help from the natural enemy of the cabbage moth, the paper wasp. My bird waterer provided a nice drinking station for them to congregate in-between hunting the cabbage worm.
The only thing that can defeat those buggers (white cabbage fly and caterpillars), in absence of the natural predators is using the net. It's futile to fight those manually. They reproduce in large numbers and hard to combat. Same goes with Aphids. Nearly impossible to get rid of them with some real chemical fertilizers.
Yea....you are definitely not going to catch all of them with a butterfly net. That just makes me laugh. Those stupid things are everywhere and you'd have to be in the garden all day long with a butterfly net for that to be effective lol.
I don’t have any veggies growing in the front of the house. Just nice shrubs. But I have been squashing white caterpillars with a green stripe down its back. I also bee seeing small white butterflies flying around . They sound exactly like your description of the cabbage worm. I’m trying to figure out what they’re eating . Any ideas?
Cabbage butterfly!! Not moth. Please get terminology right (even impact the same) as people copy and paste mistakes. Pieris rapae = white cabbage butterfly. (Folds wings up when sitting, antenna, proboscis) Plutella xylostella = cabbage moth. Totally different look, totally different family, but same eating habit as catapillars. Australia: careful. The male of the indigenous yellow Albatross butterfly (Appias paulina) looks like a white cabbage butterfly.
On occasion, I have observed birds feasting on these early spring moths but at no other time of the year. This was in the park of Wilkes-Barre, PA. Were the birds feasting at this time because the moths were inexperienced or uncoordinated enough to avoid them?
If you are thinking about a butterfly net, then killing them. Another way is to get your hose with a gun attachment and spray them with water on a slight spray setting. This will make them land due to wet wings, then switch to the high pressure blast and destroy their wings. So their wings look like the leaves that the caterpillars have munched on.
Bombshell Girl you could say the same for - moths, similar to butterflies, and clothes moths who’s larvae are used to eating wool and animal fibers. - female mosquitoes which require a blood meal to make eggs, and other biting insects - any other insect that eats a certain thing to survive or reproduce
@@bombshellgirl8106 so? We have to eat and therefore we protect our food from other things that want to steal it. They can find leaves to munch on elsewhere, weirdo.
I found the worm on my lettuce which is weird cause I thought they are going to die of cold in my fridge this is why you always wash ur cabbage, it’s now my pet I’m feeding it cabbage
HEY, HEY, MR P.A.M. SO CABBAGES ARE LIKE SPINACH AND SUCH. NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE BEEN POLLINATED? SO A FLOATED ROW COVER COULD BE S.O.P. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.?
All leafy vegetables do not need pollination. Fruit/Veg like cucumbers, squash, peppers, eggplant...... require pollination of their flowers which become the veg
With a good permaculture garden you won’t need spray. They only plant I ever need to spray is my cannabis. Besides that the wraps get everything else. But the corn worms / cabbage worms go crazy for cannabis.
Just how many hours a day do you expect to be in the garden waving a net around? We are using small mesh anti bird netting but with no success. It's back to squashing the buggers. All insecticides kill good and bad alike so not an option for us.
We were in a community garden for a few years. Some folks took care of their plots but a lot did not. We had every infestation under the sun. We ended up using need oil and you can make it at home and it's a lot better than the store bought stuff. All it is, is water, Dr.Bronners Sals suds and Neem oil. In a 16oz spray bottle we put two TBSN Neem oil and one TBSN Sals suds. Try not to spray where pollinators hang out like the flowers. This year we have a patio garden and even as small as it is, it's been far more abundant than the community garden and we haven't had to use anything since the spiders are handling the ants and the cabbage moths. The bees can come in freely and we make sure the spiders don't build those webs in their way.
I was so excited to see some of them the other day and yep, they ripped through my vegetable garden. Ugh trying to figure out the best way to deal with them right now.
Nice tips I use an old, cheap pellet gun loaded with coarse salt. It's like a mini shotgun with bird shot hahaha works like a charm- but be careful where you shoot, the shot will penetrate leaves with ease
Мне кажется, что этих бабочек нужно охранять и распространять как можно шире. Потому что они это есть очередное звено в пищевой цепи и в целом полезный для природы вид. 22.11.24.
Can't spray neem oil on your brassicas broccoli spinach kale any of your lettuces. I used neem oil and killed my spinach lettuce cabbage cauliflower broccoli
Everyone acts like they’re evil and deliberately causing damage to ruin peoples days, but really they’ve evolved to eat these plants long before humans’ arrival and need them to survive and grow, unlike us who can eat a large variety of things. If you’ve gotta remove them do it, but stop saying they’re evil, guys! Especially considering I just raised a caterpillar I found on some wild rocket…
They're just trying to survive like everything else. I used to smile when i saw them...but that was before I knew what they're coming around for. Destruction!

I saw these yesterday and thought they were just cute butterflies on my mom's bok choy. Crap!
I put egg shells in my garden in the dirt and I haven’t seen one since. I also use white fake plastic butterflies.

do the caterpilars feed at night or during the day?
Thanks ! I just caught two of these jerks wreaking mayhem in my tiny plot. They are outta here thanks to your help.

I hate those things. I never thought about capturing the butterfly. tfs
Sha-na-nah we hate you! You have no rights!
interesting. Do they like to lay their eggs on green onions?
No. Onions are part of the Allium family. Cabbage white choose the plants in the brassica family (Brassicaceae).
I remember as a child, we would find the green caterpillars in the tube of the green onion. This is in Hawaii.
@@danielwoods621
ok to spray neem and bT on edible greens?

Just grow nasturtiums they prefer to host on that plant.

HI FIRST TIME COMMENTING..YOU SOUND CONCERNED ABOUT USING BT AND OR NEEM OIL...CAN YOU ELLABORATE ? IF THEY ARE ORGANIC WHAT ARE THE HIDDEN CONCERNS.
BT has been linked to leaky gut in humans. Stick to 100% need oil it is safe!
Neem oil
I found the worm on my lettuce which is weird cause I thought they are going to die of cold in my fridge this is why you always wash ur cabbage, it’s now my pet I’m feeding it cabbage
What did you name him?
@@paulsalerno1141 worm is his/her name it became a moth already he gone now

They are a pain in the ass. I think I will use a net next year.

What is so bad about neem oil if it comes naturally from a tree?
Just pulled a green worm that was munching on my cardoon this morning.
so catch them is all I learned
Watch it again.
Nice tips I use an old, cheap pellet gun loaded with coarse salt. It's like a mini shotgun with bird shot hahaha works like a charm- but be careful where you shoot, the shot will penetrate leaves with ease
You didn’t squish that white butterfly in the palm of your hand, did you??
Im nonstoping cabbage white and rasing them and they are very cuteee🤗🤗
enjoy the butterflies

Very informative! Thank you!
Oi, I want one of them net, thats a good one. The broom don't work lol
These are my nemesis.
I cauht one today with a net
Omg please don't tell me those are the butterflies that I always try a catch there always on my bushes, nuuuuuuuuuuuu!
cabbage white you're call these across the pond they are a bloody nuisance on my allotment
What I do is I leave them alone and grow crops that say for butterflies only
There beautiful
Yes but sadly they are bad for crops
:( I catch buterflys

Alright green peace, you go without food for your precious caterpillars 🤦🏻♂️🤡
@@gizmorepairs bur cabbage, Brussels sprouts, etc. are not the only food we eat and besides, they're just helping prune!
They're just trying to survive like everything else. I used to smile when i saw them...but that was before I knew what they're coming around for. Destruction!
I stand in the garden swinging my tennis racket, swatting them as they fly by.
And the little bastards laid eggs on my potatoes!! I had to spray with Sevin.
I would want them
Ummmm presurve it so it doesn't decay that's a cool thing to do
Rather than a butterfly net, I use a tennis racket.
They’ll eat nightshades or anything else.
No m
What a joke! As if people have time to stand all day to capture the cabbage white with a net!
Takes 5 minutes.
It’s a Killer👿
They ruin cannabis
butterfly net.... idiotic..
Dirty Harry option... malathion,
Why did you put that stinking moth in the jar? Just squish it and drop it in the garden.
