Re: Guava bug

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Imransab. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing caterpillars.

An insecticide spray designed to kill caterpillars should be all you need to eliminate them, and I am not sure why you wouldn't have succeeded. If it's a contact spray, there could be more, and you might have killed some. I'd encourage you to spray every few days until they are eliminated. You might like to swap to a spray such as Dipel, which is particularly effective on caterpillars.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
