What is a natural way to repell caterpallars. They get in my place and die and if I dont see them they get squished and they stain. How do I keep them out of my place?

peppermint oil misted onto any surface will repel most insects...gently.

u mean into your home? oooooooh never heard of it before. Close your windows or be careful as to what you;re bringing in like a jacket or something that a caterpillar might be on. They are a bit messy when you squish em though

First you have to search and see how they are coming in and then check your yard and trees for them. Put out alittle borax mixed with sugar and that should get rid of them. If you have cats or dogs I would not recommend it.

Try a gardening website they should have some good ideas as most gardeners dont want them on cabbages

Try bug baits.
