You are lucky! I've been picking them (and their eggs off for 2 months and my climate isn't that much warmer than yours (near Asheville).

I plant onions around my cole crops and very little damage from those little buggers. Walking onions are handy in my garden and those seem to work quite well for me. Try it sometime.
