managing milkweed

hi
need some help with species selection for my area.??
Have planted Asclepias curassavica for the monarchs but the caterpilllars eat it to the ground . They are active year around so plant never gets a chance to recover.
Would a better choice for me be Giant milkweed. Calotropis procera or maybe gigantea?? Much more to eat for sure.
One more ?? Assasin bugs is there solution or should I just let nature run its course?? Thanks gary
