I have the yellow caterpillars and used safer soap- it didn't do a darn thing to them. I've been having to check my babies every 3 or 4 hours and see if I still have any. I found 1 last nite. I'm gonna crush up a whole garlic and make a spray with it. Garlic runs off just about everything. I would use neem oil but I run out. If you find something that works for sure let me know.
hydrojnos Reviewed by hydrojnos on . Caterpillars - now what? I noticed some holes on my leaves and thought - stupid me - that I spilled some water and therefore got localized burn. Ahem. Today I took a closer look - and yes, I have a bunch of green caterpillars eating my plants. :( I collected all that I could find and shook the plants rather visciously - I hope I got all of them, but I doubt it. So - what pest repellent works best? Rating: 5
