Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Jazzman08. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about controlling caterpillars.
Caterpillars are a very common problem in veggie patches, but they are thankfully quite easy to control once you use the right product.
One of the best options is Dipel. It is a biological control that specifically targets caterpillars and is safe to use on edible plants when applied as directed. Dipel works by being eaten by the caterpillars, after which they stop feeding and die, so it is very effective without harming bees or other beneficial insects.
For best results, spray thoroughly over the leaves, making sure you cover the undersides where caterpillars tend to hide. It is also important to reapply after rain and repeat applications as new caterpillars hatch. Used early and consistently, Dipel will protect your vegetables and help keep ongoing damage under control.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
