I know it may not sound strong enough, but a daily dose of soapy water may do the trick. That saved my roses from getting eaten alive.
Diatomaceous earth should get rid of them. Sprinkle it around and it will kill them shortly after they come in contact. If it gets wet but doesn't wash away it will be effective once it dries.
