I think without killing them the only thing you can really do is prevent the moths from laying the eggs in the first place.

I've also read to pick them off by hand and drop them into soapy water but that kills them. I guess not as brutal as what I've been doing but I'm triggered by my anger of them. Lol.

The large ones are from huge moths. I mean huge! I killed one a few weeks ago. Took about five smacks before he died. Wingspan about 3". They say you can put row covers on your veggies but for a large plant like bouganvea not possible, plus it's ugly. But that still doesn't solve the issue of the smaller ones.

What I've been doing is putting out bird seed and hoping the birds patrol my yard. I love birds except pigeons. Only draw back is bird poop. That way the birds kill them not you.
