    Hi I thought all my fruit and veg was doing well until I discovered quite a few bugs. I have found tiny white caterpillar and eggs on my cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, white fly in my lettuce, white and green fly in my tomatoes and strawberries. I rinsed the strawberries and tomatoes with soapy solution and removed all infected brassica leaves of caterpillar and eggs by hand but I want to stop things returning. I bought bug clear ultra spray but after reading the label it says only for use on edible plants listed (and this list does not contain cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli or strawberries). Does anyone know if it is safe to use on them or recommend a different type for those fruit and veg not listed? I have attached photos of the bottle.....

    Thank you!

    I don't know about using it on you fruit and veg, but I used it on my plants that where infected with green, white and blackly, lily Beatle, etc and it eradicated them.

    Saying that, surely if its safe for lettuce then I can't see a prob with cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower.
