I added about 1/2 tsp each of NEEM OIl and CEDAR OIL. Shake well and spray broccoili and cauliflower in the evening. I did this once a week and more often if it rains. I picked a large amount of broccoli today and only 3 worms. The Neem Oil and Cedar Oil can be obtained from Nitron Industries in Fayetteville, AR. Check out their web site.

This prevents the worms and makes your broccoli ORGANIC! You should cover the plants with cheese cloth or sheer fabric to keep the moths from laying eggs on the plants.

I have them too; I have been successful by picking. I squish some but the big juice ones I like to put in the bird feeder in hopes that the birds will start seeking them out.

Ick....are they harmful if ingested? They seem to be hard to see at first. I was blanching broccoli to make soup a couple of weeks ago and noticed them in the hot water.
