We have had our Oleanders three years and this is the first year we noticed they were covered with caterpillars from the wasp moth and these caterpillars were eating the leaves. Not wanting to use insecticide we removed the catepilars by hand and placed them in a bucket of warm soapy water in order to destroy them. We have not had any blooms either and in our case it was due to the caterpillars.
