I keep finding these caterpillars/worms on my snap peas and cilantro, I plucked off 4 yesterday! they are totally chewing up my peas, how do I make them not want to come back w/o spraying anything harmful? I've been told a lot of bugs don't like coffee grinds I sprinkled that around it almost seems like it invited more. anything I can do besides pluck them off on a daily basis?

you could try using horticultural enviromesh.
You wouldn't need to permanently cover them although sometimes that can be beneficial as it also brings plants on a little faster. You could just use it around the time you know the eggs are laid.
