The common treatment appears to be applying a sticky substance at the base of the plant to trap the adults as they climb to feed at night. I cut 1.5" square pieces of paper grocery bag with a slit and hole in the middle. I then brushed on a mix of equal parts sugar, water and honey to make a sticky goo. I placed the traps under 6 bean stems and 2 broccoli stems as a test, if it works I will put them all over the place tomorrow.
