How do you prevent cabbage moths?

Adhering to proper cultivation procedures, engaging in companion planting, introducing natural predators, removing by gloved hand or hosed water or mechanical tool, setting up row covers, and treating with homemade or store-bought garlic water are ways to prevent cabbage moths. The insects in question (Mamestra brassicae) prey upon cabbage that is crowded or stressed by incorrect heat, light, moisture and nutrient levels. Braconid wasps (Diaeretiella rapae) will prey upon cabbage moths, particularly if nectar-rich alyssum, daisies and yarrow are nearby while companion plantings of hyssop, peppermint, rosemary, sage, southernwood, and thyme will serve as cabbage moth repellents.
