Immediate Caterpillar Relief

tlintx · August 7, 2013

The last three mornings, I've gone out to find one of my seedlings stripped by black and yellow caterpillars.

They never go for the plants I have tons of extras of, just the ones where I'm down to two!

Is there anything I can do immediately to control this? I looked but there don't seem to be any present now. But that's what I thought yesterday, when I still had one Rosella Purple left.

I sprayed with neem, and I have copper, mancozeb, baking soda, bleach... next year I will also have bT! But is there anything I can try right now? And is there any chance my stripped seedlings might recover from a single or no leaf-state?
