Why is it found experimentally difficult to detect neutrinos in nuclear β-decay?

Neutrinos are generated whenever β-decay occurs. Neutrinos are neutral particles with very small (near to zero) mass as compared to electrons thus they have a very weak interaction with other particles. Thus, finding them experimentally is very difficult, as they penetrate large quantities of matter (even earth) without any interaction.
