Default Caterpillars on Gooseberries

I have discovered hundreds of small caterpillars munching their way
through my gooseberry leaves. A strong solution of Fairy and Sarson's
wasn't that effective when I sprayed them with it yesterday as loads
remained today. Any other remedies?

Finger and thumb and sharp eyes - it works but you need to get your eye in

I ended up with this method but the gooseberries fight back and I have
lacerated hands to show for it.
