Hit them with some neem oil which is organic and then dust around the base of the plant with food grade diatemaceous earth. Also, take a magnifying glass and look over your plant very carefully to see if you can spot the buggers.
Neem oil works great 3 tbs per gallon and spray every 2 weeks and stop abot two weeks before harvest, The oil leaves a garlic smell on the cones.
