Use Sevin dust.

Actually Sevin is a poor first choice because it is such a broad
spectrum pesticide it kills off predatory insects and pollinators
along with the target pest.
A good choice would be BT which is a bacterial pesticide that
specifically targets caterpillars and is marketed as Dipel or
Thuricide.
