green caterpillars ate little holes in leaves

will the leaves heal or stay how they are or just die
btw i did squash them suckers

what will deter them i used insecticidal soap yesterday when i spotted 2 but checked today and found 3 more and those had damaged alot of leaves

btw this is a 6 plant growbox in a shed

Expect the leaves to stay how they are (might yellow around the hole). Unless there is significant damage...then the leaf will most likely die.

what can i use to repel or kill them

Neem oil .......

ok just checked and found like 8 of the fuckers i thought they were getting in growbox but i moved so soil around and found them in the soil so i assume they r from larvae in the soil
what is creating them and what if i put sevin dust on top of soil

They were probably already there and now it's getting warm enough for them to emerege. I assume your planting in the ground?

yes im using soil growing in a grow box in a shed
i meant what insect do they come from is it gnat larvae

I doubt it's gnats. Unless you have some monsters gnats comparative of Alaskan mosquitos, I mean birds. The description of catepillar would imply a moth or butterfly. A picture would help but you better hope it's not a variety like hornworms or cutworms.

it looks like a inch worm or maybe a leafroller

ok where can i get neem from at a regular store i have no gro shops near and dont have time to wait to order online
i have another post asking the same thing
seems that everyone recommends it but no one will tell me how i can get my hands on it dont tell me it is only available at gro shops
