My dwarf Azaeleas have been invaded by these assholes. One bush is already eating down to the bark. Is there a product to kill these things. I've never seen one that looked like these

Should be many products to kill them. Sevin dust should do the trick. Head to a garden center or feed store they will have something.

Red headed Azaelea caterpillar. They are harmless to you but will wipe out plants. Seven or carbaryl should knock them out. The one in your pic is fairly far along in its life cycle so you may need a little extra juice to take them out.

Wasp spray did the trick for me. My azaleas were covered with these damn things a few weeks ago
