Eek Caterpillars!

I have my growing boxes right beside my vegetable garden, located near some trees. *Lately I have noticed that only the green (or is it red? *I forget which are which ) peppers have been gnawed away at, along with my quince.

The only trace I have found is a small caterpillar that was dead stuck to one of the quince leaves. *Aside from that, I haven't found anything. *I am assuming they run to the quince when I turn my back * I have seen a few nests lately and a few on the ground, so I am pretty sure it is caterpillars.

Is there any weak pesticide that I can use on both plants? *I don't like the idea of spraying everything with a toxic chemical...

Thanks
