This year I tried insecticidal soap, applied weekly. I don't know if our infestation last year wasn't that bad, but it seems to have done the trick.
If you want to limit your pesticide application, you can put out traps for the adults. You won't catch them all, but you'll know when they show up. IMO, it's easier to watch traps than it is to look for eggs. When the adults show up, start treating for eggs.
If you grow climbing verities on a trellis treatment will be easier.
