Help!

I've just adopted (temporarily) about twenty-five chile plants from a friend
who is in the middle of purchasing a home and being thrown out of the place he
was living.  I'll be taking care of his chile plants till he moves into the
new house later this month.

In the meantime I have a problem.  On his plants I keep finding Green
Caterpillars with a horn or spike on the rear-end.  I believe these are tomato
caterpillars(?).

So far I have found at least one per day on his plants.  I would like to keep
them from infesting my plants and hopefully eliminate them from his plants
too.

Any suggestions.  I've been using a mix of dish soap, tabasco sauce and water
sprayed on the leaves to repel other bugs and this has worked so far.  Will
this deter these caterpillars?
