Hi all, I noticed quite a few Cabbage Whites around my sprouts & Spring Cabbage over the weekend & sure enough a fair number of clusters of eggs on the under side of the leaves.

What is the best method of prevention / cure for these pests. I don't really have time to inspect all the plants every couple of days........ I'm not averse to spraying with chemicals.
Last year my sprouts & cabbages (first year of growing them) were decimated by caterpillars....they're not having them this year if I can help it 

Any advice appreciated.

There are enough threads telling you to net them, I think most people would have seen at least one of them by now 

As far as brassicas are concerned - If you don't net it - you don't get it!

it's too late for this year so you'll have to spray them, if you don't want to pick them off.
Provado do a fruit and vegetable spray - make sure to buy the one for vegetables.
