Growing Broad Beans, also Fava bean

I have small brown grubs/caterpillars (approx. 10mm) burrowing into my broad beans. Does anyone know what they are and more importantly how to get rid of them organically. I have picked off the affected pods. Would Dipel work on these grubs? Thanks.

Dipel should be fine to use on them.
