This sounds like the Tortrix Moth. Have you tried spraying with Bifenthrin. It's a contact spray and should be applied before flowering, and also after last picking.

Hope this helps.

All of these contain it - Scotts Bug Clear Gun, Bayer Sprayday Greenfly Killer Plus, Doff All-In-One Garden Pest Killer. You should be able to pick some up @ your local garden centre or maybe B&Q.

BTW... I'm partial to strawberries
