I seem to have a catipillar problem this year. They are green little suckers. They just keep coming and coming even after killing 60 of them or so over the last 10 days. I tried spraying garlic barrier, it ain't workin! I'm all organic thus year with my wife pregant. What can I spray on my plant that is natural that will kill them and not burn my eavs in my high heat climate? I saw some kind of bacteria product that claims to attack their gut. Ay help is appreciated before my plant looks like swiss cheese:)

should of used spell check lol, I'm always afraid of leaf burn here in my climate, so needs to be safe. Neem oil burns leaves in my climate, so out of the picture too.
