You could try making a homemade spray - combination of water, garlic and dish soap and spray on the leaves of the plants.

For my apple tree, I used combination of water and dish soap. But the article above recommended garlic.
I used to hand pick them off and dispose of them. It was time consuming, but I am anti chemical. One-year I used dawn in hot water and washed them off.
To keep them out of the garden you can take a pie tin and place cut cucumbers and place them on the tin. The smell will keep them out of the garden. Also you can take all your old eggshells and crush them and put them around the trees. I have even dug holes in the yard close to my plants and put in plastic glasses and put beer in them. They seem to love the smell and go inside and are killed. Other than this you should hand pick them off your plants.
I pick them off by hand.
