Richard,

This is from RHS book, so not sure.  Not had experience of pea moths!

Use pheramone traps to catch the males, reducing chances of females mating successfully.  Spary with bifenthrin 7-10 days after flowering begins.  Early or late flowering peas should not need spraying.

Luckily, there will be others here later to give more practical advice  :D
