Use a spray containing Bt. Look on the ingredients for bacillus thurigensis kursaki. It should be available at good garden centres. It's got no withhold and is approved for organic growers' use. It's germ warfare, a bacterium that activates in the caterpillars' gut and kills it. No effect on humans, our guts don't activate it. It loses potency after a few hours of sun, so best applied late afternoon or morning. Just follow the instructions and store it as advised on the label.

Success contains spinosad, an insecticide derived from a naturally occurring bacteria that kills caterpillars, pear & cherry slug, thrips and tomato leaf miner on a range of vegetables, fruits, herbs, ornamentals and trees"
