Hi GeordieGirl Welcome to the 'Vine!
Your caterpillars are best just picked off by hand - go over every plant slowly til you've found them all. Little blighters Otherwise it's a non-organic spray. I don't think I've ever seen a biological control for caterpillars (except the birds of course)
Good luck with them - it looks like I'll be lucky to get much crop off mine - the fruits are only just starting to form!

Hi geordiegirl and welcome to the vine! If you only have a few pepper plants it's just as easy to pick of any pests rather than resort to chemicals!

Hello Geordiegirl. Don't grow peppers and (so far!!!) have managed to avoid the dreaded caterpillars so can't help, but welcome to the vine. Sanjo
