Pick them all off and squash them. Next time cover them with fine netting or enviromesh.

If the growing point is still there, then you should.

If they've eaten it away - then no  :(

The Soil Association say avoid using anything containing thiacloprid because it is one of the chemicals implicated in the bee numbers falling.
