Now you're aware of the problem, control rather than eradication is the best you can hope for. | |

Tried to clarify that I'm primarily interested in effectiveness after late detection

| May 26, 2017 at 14:28 | comment | added | THelper | @Bamboo Thanks, I read your other post. Any idea how effective the mentioned solutions are when the caterpillars are already spread out around the neighborhood? | |
| May 25, 2017 at 19:38 | comment | added | Bamboo | gardening.stackexchange.com/questions/32783/… might be of help, but I'm not sure there's any organic solution other than just picking them off | |
