I've found Surround alone and/or Surround with a bit of Pyganic in the spray mix is pretty effective. The Pyganic has some "knock down" effect. The Surround is essentially a deterrent but a pretty good one. I find it all but necessary at transplanting(or emergence) and in the first few weeks thereafter.

Yes, they seem to be bent on global domination. We went from one or two here and there to heavy infestation in two days time. We have mostly the spotted ones. We keep hoping the bats will find us and our free insect buffet. In the meantime, I've spent a few hours hand picking the slower dumber ones into a bucket of soapy water. My business partner is looking into organic spray controls and I'm sure will post what she finds that might work. In the meantime, though, my hand picking a couple of times has seemed to keep them in check. They've not taken out entire crops, but they do a lot of leaf damage particularly to the curcurbits and the tomatoes.
