Along with our lovely raised vegetable gardens, comes certain garden pests. After seeing a few white moths hanging around, and even finding one small caterpillar on a brocolli seedling, I decided to try making some decoy moths to deter them.
A bit of white plastic packaging and some wire that came around some recently purchased chicken wire was all I need to put together these simple decoys. I made and installed them about a week ago and so far they seem to be doing their job. Either that or the chickens have been eating any caterpillars they have been finding. Whichever is the reason, my vegetables seem safe for now.
Have you had luck with this sort of decoy? Or any other more effective way to deter white moths?
