Try Shultz Houseplant Insect Spray. It's made from crysanthemum flowers. It lasts about 3 weeks and kills the various stages of their life cycle. Make sure you spray the bottoms of the leaves too. Repeat after 3 weeks just to make sure. It's a houseplant spray but you can use it outdoors too.

I found a good method to get rid of them is to stick matches head down around your plants. That did for the ones that had infested my house plants. The plants did not like it a lot either, but that may have been overdosing on my part (5 matches for one smallish basil), and the basils recovered within a few days. The other plants seemed to be all right.
This helps against the little hopping things ,too.

you can try an insecticidal soap , or alternatively , a synthetic insecticide . if you haven't got a big area to cover , best way is to clean the bug off by hand , that way you get the 'corners' if you know what i mean . good luck
