Sorry to hear you are having trouble with these insects, you are not alone and this question has been asked previously. Here is a link to the question. There is lots of information here.

Once the insects are established, things like floating row covers are going to be useless but it may help for next year before they arrive. You could try vacuuming them off but you will have to be persistent. You could also try spraying with a neem containing insecticidal soap - again persistence is key! I'm sure our community will have some other suggestions for you - good luck!
