Sounds like caterpillars of some sort to me.  Try treating it with Bt.  You
can get it at your local garden center and it is harmless to everything
except caterpillars and their kin.

Good luck!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
