I had a problem with caterpillers homing on my blueberry tree towards the end of last summer and the little blighters are back, the damage is quite bad to the point of destroying most of the leaves that have opened. I picked every single one by hand today so I think the tree is clear but I have two questions. a) what spray\measure is best to take to stop this happening again b) has anyone else every had this happen?
I have two other smaller trees on the other side of the garden and these are not effected. The caterpillers are also found of the cranberry leaves that are homed in the base of the tree.

) which helps prevent them getting up the trunk. I also sprayed the entire tree, I don't like doing this either and its a last resort. I'll winter wash the trees this winter and that along with grease should (fingers crossed) prevent attack.
