Regarding caterpillar problem in greenhouse?

asked earlier today about what to do for really bad caterpillar problem in greenhouses. Eating geraniums, bouganvillas, dew plants and other stuff. Have sprayed Dipel and Thurbicide on more than one occasion and we are still being eaten alive. Was advised today to try something specifically for caterpillars, butterflys, and moths. Can anyone recommend something specific or suggest a more specific website to seek information from.. We are located in West Texas . Appreciate any and all help.

Biological control is good. You can get special parasitic wasps. Just put them in the greenhouse and they lay eggs on the caterpillers and eat them from the inside hahaha.



They are supplied on cards and you just hang them up in the greenhouse.



If you take a sample to a garden center then they can tell you which wasp to use.
Reply:Use Gnatrol. Not just for fungus gnats but kills catterpillars as well.
