Too prevent the insects and moths as well as other pest spray your plant with eco oil this is organic and it leaves afilm on the leaves the pest sees that it eggs won't stay attached to the leaves so it goes elsewhere. Also for the caterpillars still around use "Success " safe to use will knock the bugs for a six.

Thanks for this I was about to ask how to get rid of caterpillars without using harsh chemicals. I've been using garlic oil spray but still finding a few caterpillars and eggs
