I have a small farm at the back of my house but it's infested by caterpillars, I'm not a farmer so I have no experience on how to fight these pests.

Please I need suggestions on what to do.
I've been picking them off manually but it's a lot of work, the most annoying thing is that in just 2 days you find another one or more caterpillars on same plant you picked days ago.

I need a total remedy before these things finish my plants.

use Caterpillar force to get rid of them. You can get it from any agric chemical shop around you. Alternatively you can try Ariel detergent with baking soda. Add water and spray inside the maize plant.

Buy caterpillar powder,dillute it with water and spray the maize with it either early morning or in the evening time.

Thank you, will find it tomorrow.

Any pesticide with emamectin benzoate e.g caterpillar force. If you have a bit more cash alternate it with ampligo every 2weeks until eradicated. Spray early morning/ evening when they are active.

Will take note of that, hopefully I find it around here tomorrow.

I bought one from a store and it killed all my corn, so sad right now, had to replant.

Will put this method into use when next it happens.
Thank you

You may not have diluted the caterpillar force in the right ratio. You may have applied too much.

Then look at you... Take a good look at yourself soul deep... Are you on the right path, are you channelling your energy rightly
