from Monty Chatu contains these words:

Hi

Sorry for the post's but I have just bought a house with my 1st garden,
so
it's all a bit new! What effective, and environmental friendly methods,
can
people recommend for controlling these critters?

What kind of caterpillars do you want to control, in a new garden ?
In the UK there are very few caterpillars around at this time of year.

Janet

I'd have said the same, but found some on a rosemary bush yesterday. They
were small green ones, and had made themselves little homes by sticking all
the leaves in a single shoot together with silk.
