Dipel. It's actually a naturally occurring bacteria that attacks
caterpillars.

BUT -- do you really have a big problem? Are they eating everything in
sight?
Or are you just worried that they *will*? Or are they spitfires? If you
can
live without using Dipel, I would try -- wasps and dragonflies ilke eating
caterpillars, and you could get something interesting when the caterpillars
turn into butterflies.
... or cabbage moths.

I'm all for killing cabbage moth caterpillars!

Look you guys DIPEL is OK and naturally occurring, except if you apply
it.But its OK !!!
