I recently bought AzaGuard but I don't know how effective it is on
caterpillars as it supposedly prevents insects from molting from one life
stage to another and if caterpillars don't molt while doing their damage, it
might not work.
It works great on aphids, etc and when I asked my local ag supply for a
systemic that won't kill me, this is what they recommended.  A little goes a
long way.  An ounce makes ~10 gallons of spray.  I still use Bifenthrin
(non-systemic pyrethroid) for arachnids.
Just checked the label and 'lepidopterous larvae' is on the AzaGuard label
so it should work.
