Caterpillar
 
Have a problem with Caterpillar's on a Hedge type plant up against my house,
i don't have the exact name of the bush sorry.

It's eating all the leaves.

I have sprayed the bush with a liquid designed for caterpillar's, but there
only falling of and climbing back onto it.

Any idea's would be appreciated.

Jim.

Squash em! Better yet, find out what they are (your local nursery should be
able to tell you that if you take one to show them) & ask for something
specifically for that type of pest. Ideally encouraging birds that eat them
(Magpies perhaps?) would be the best way to go.

Hmm you might have sprayed the plant with a contact killer which means you
have to actually spray the caterpillar, you should try using a systemic it
stays on the plant for 12 months.

here's a link to the product that will do the trick.
