Hi...my box hedging is infested with caterpillars....I have picked off hundreds!
But whats the best way to deal with these? I really would hate to loose my lovely buxus and topiaries. Thank you

Any Bt spray (Bacillus thuringensis) is death on any caterpillars. I don't know if it is available in stores in the UK or not but you can get it through Amazon

It will. They will stop feeding immediately and be dead within 12 hours. It is the BEST caterpillar killer on the market, anywhere.
