Caterpillers - Birch Trees

Caterpillers - Birch Trees.
The ones that make those cob webs on tree branches.
Here, mostly seen on birch trees but do habitat other leaf trees.

Happened to be in yard in mid-June and viewed bunches of these caterpillers on trunks of all of my birch trees. I sprayed them with home chemicals. But each day there are more.

Appology to those who are favorable to these insects for whatever reason.

Does anyone know how to prevent these caterpillers?
Early in season so they don't make all of those nasty looking webs in the tree tops/branches later in summer?
