Reading the article again carefully it makes it clear that one method of attack isn't going to be really effective.
I have a feeling the plants need to be stocked up with a systemic from time to time, and coated with a detergent / Neem Oil barrier to kill/starve the eating bug stages, and a contact spray to kill off any egg laying bugs before they lay more eggs. Yellow sticky traps may also attract and kill the flying male bugs.
To break the cycle the First Nymphal Instar, once hatched needs to be prevented from eating on your plants. If they could be starved to death then they are not going to grow into adults. To me the only way to do this without them building up resistance is some kind of neem / soap / alcohol based spray.
[attack 1] A spray every few days for five to six weeks should reduce the eating capabilities of those instars as they hatch (combined lifespan is 4 weeks).
[attack 2] Any visible adult bugs need to be got rid of to stop them laying more eggs.
Here are the stages listed in the article (link to newsletter below)

EGGS. They hatch after about a fortnight.
FIRST NYMPHAL INSTAR. 13 days of gorging ensue before it ends this stage by being covered in white wax.
SECOND NYMPHAL INSTAR. ....so overfed that it couldn’t possibly move anywhere. These also last for 13 days after which those destined to be the male of the species spin a white wax cocoon ...
PREPUPA MALE. ...no mouth parts and can’t feed. This stage is a short one of 4 days.
PUPA MALE. This stage lasts some six days, the legs are well developed and the insect is very active.
ADULT MALE. ...The male mates and dies after about 8 days ....
THIRD NYMPHAL INSTAR – FEMALE. It is inactive during this stage at the end of which it becomes the adult female
ADULT FEMALE. These are mobile but not very active. They frequently form colonies of 10 to 20 creatures after mating, each colony being covered in white waxy wool.... Mated females live for about 43 days.
Thus the life span of a female from egg to death will be anything from 90 to 100 days and a male from 55 to 65 days.
