Default Caterpillar control?

I've used Palmolive dish soap in a hose end sprayer for leaf curler worms
on an oak that was decimated year after year by them. The sprayer is like
one with the rotating adjustable nozzle, but has a small bottle for the soap
and got it at Home Depot or Lowe's last year for $9. I also use that for web
worms on pecan trees. Set on "Jet", I can shoot it 20' and seemed more
effective than when I tried BT.
I also like to use Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap. I find that getting the
overspray on me or anything else to be not unpleasant as any alternative.

I read an article in the Oak Hill Gazette that Bt can be used to kill
those pesky worms that hang from our oak trees and drive everyone crazy.
I'm going to try it. Geo-Growers stocks it.
