Cody howard is with the spider guys. He says there's an over-the-counter biological insecticide available called btk that can help protect the shrubs. You need to apply it approximately every 7 to 10 days for maximum effectiveness as it is a stomach poison. So it requires the caterpillar to eat it and then they will die.
