Have you tried the insecticidal soap? It works on somethings.

Are they the things that live in the soil? Don't you have to treat the soil also?

I have considered napalm for my moles,I'm at a loss too,have little white/silver moths eating some of my plants.I try not to use poisons,but the little buggers are busy . The soap seems to work on them,when I can catch them to spray... good luck on it.
