One more thing, I have had a few in the past but not like this, How long will these things be around? Can I expect them all summer?

Good news and Bad news....
Good news is these things don't typically stick around for the whole growing season.
So, once you've eradicated them for a month or so, you're good the rest of the
season.
Bad news is the fruit worms follow close behind, and those are worse in my opinion. They don't eat the foliage, but can ruin a fruit in no time!

P.S. I ususally resort to picking and not dusting. My idea is to encourage the
parasitic wasps to come around. If I miss one, the wasps may eventually find it
and keep coming back for more.
This worked at the other house, and I had very few problems once the wasps
began keeping them in check!
