I have an infestation of all types of caterpillars in my carport and
want to get rid of all of them. How do I kill like 100's of them
quickly? I thought about getting a powerful UV lamp, but dont know how
that would work. Rubbing alcohol takes too long to kill them, gets very
smelly, and is not efficient to spray over a large area.

Before you want to wipe them all out, how about finding out what they
actually are? Every now and them we have a mini infestation of
Mourning Cloak 'pillars that climb down to pupate. Something to
behold, but the end result are non destructive butterflies ;0)

If they are tent 'pillars - crush, kill, destroy :0) Are they
hanging around, or have they already boogied out?
