While cabbage and related vegetable crops are bothered by many different types of worms, chances are you are describing cabbage loopers. Loopers, although a severe pest of cabbage, are relatively easy to control with the biological insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis. This material gives excellent control of worms and can be used with complete safety around the home. Read and follow label instructions for use.
