I've read of a few people trying to trap them but they always make their way back....is it really possibly to completely rid them all??

How did you identify them ?? Do you have a picture ? Are your sure your not mixing them up with something else?

They're quite big, and match the photos if you google them.

Well I had been watching them crawling around (and multiply) for awhile thinking they were the 'good' kind of Pods (I'm an extreme noob and google everything lol). Well, the other night I had spotted a crab hitchhiker so I was setting a trap to catch him. thats when one latched on to my arm and drew blood I figured they probably weren't so 'friendly' and started researching and came across the Cirolanids.

That appetite is what makes them easy to catch

Ahhhh ok that's a pretty positive identification method I guess !! Just fish them out with your arm

I did. Having a yellow tang, when they were in the tank, you knew it. All of them attached to the tang at once, and very quickly. I'm probably stretching it when I say 20 minutes, it was likely less. Never saw another in 2 years of running that tank full of fish.
