capatillar munching my shit

whats up guys, im exactly 2 weeks into my 4th grow, everything looks incredible, alll plants have opened up and started pushin out hairs and calyxes however ive noticed a progression in my some bite marks on my leafs, its seemed to have gotten worse over the past three days and i want to irradicate them while i have the chance, im really against spraying once flowering has started and all i have is spinosad which i had a bad experience spraying with before during flowering, so id rather avoid spraying if possible but whats everyone think the best way of getting rid of these bitches is now?

Find them by hand, theres usually only a couple if they are caterpillars. And they can be pretty fuckin big too, under leaves, look around. Ive had some monster green ones outside that have that orange horn on their ass, or head whichever it is.
 
o ya and theres a trellis that was set like a week and a half ago so thats an obstacle for spraying and finding them by hand too

Get some BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis), concentrate or a product containing it. Bunch of them at HD or Lowes.

Totally natural, totally effective. Worms ingest it, it locks up their gut and they starve to death and only affects worms (caterpillars). I call them worms, shorter and easier to spell. LOL Safe for everything else.

Takes a few days and they actually have to eat some, so spray the leaves well. I've used it for over 35 years and eaten quite a bit since I spray it on my veggies and tomatoes also.

If you cannot purchase them locally look online and purchase a few praying mantis and release them on your plants. They are like the Great White Shark of the insect world. They will find and devour things like caterpillars.
