SOS Caterpillars are attacking!!!

Last year i had a big problem with caterpillars.
 
I had a dozen habanero plants, and i'd find 1-3 caterpillars per plant, every couple of weeks.
Some of my plants were even bitten in half.
 
This year i'm only growing a couple white habs; and i'm afraid that i'm in for a repeat of last year.
And yesterday, i noticed something had been eating on the leaves of one of them; and i never found the culprit.
 
any suggestions on how to keep these gluttons at bay?

train crows to guard your plants
 
or just make a favorable environment for anything that eats caterpillars
 
actually, with how things are, once they are on the plants, the birds can't get to them.
there's a lot of cats in the neiborhood that like to play with stuff like house plants, and i keep the plants in a bit of a caged enclosure.
