Unfortunately, the more chemicals you use, the worse the pest problems become. The reason is, chemical pesticides make no distinction between 'bad' and beneficial insects. It kills them all. There are more insects that eat plants than there are insects that prey on the plant eating insects. When you kill off the beneficials along with the ones you are trying to eliminate, this actually sets the stage for a population explosion of the bad insects.
Rather than lamenting your lost crops, start doing research on organic gardening. By allowing your garden to grow naturally, it will begin to balance out and you will experience less loss from pests.
Another idea is to get a few chickens and let them roam in your garden. A couple of chickens will eradicate all the insects from your garden, above and below ground.
