Don't know if it works outdoors, but in a greenhouse we had good success
with an occasional spray and watering woth a very weak solution of liquid
dish soap. Seems the change in surface tension does ugly things to the
larvae.  Also, indoord a smudge fire of dry oak leaves does wonders. 
These were succulents of a number of species, plus orchids and a variety
of teaching plants.
