Hey Chirley!
It seems like those white moths are worse some years than others. I don't use any chemicals. If it's a bad year for them, I just try to hand pick as many as possible. I recall reading about one guy who gave his five-year-old grandson a tennis racket and a nickel for every dead moth. This Spring I had no moth problem at all; it will be interesting to see how these Fall cabbages do in that regard.
Take care!
Greg
