Meryl, the trick is to not get caterpillars to begin with. Pick off those you have then netting or large pieces of egg shell (white side up works better) on and around the leaves. When to pick depends on the type. If it is a hearting variety then when you have a firm/solid centre. Some of the "spring" varieties these days look like big leafy lettuce.
