We don't have a clear path to making monopoles. What was done was setting up a quantum system which behaved like a monopole. Dirac's predictions were confirmed, which tells us we got the theory right. Note that baryon catalysis was not confirmed, due to limitations of the setup. In essence, you need a real monopole of the correct type to check this.

Likewise, SUSY has a lot of parameter space unreachable by the LHC. The MSSM puts light gauginos in the TeV range, which is just barely accessible.

I should've posted my source earlier I guess http://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.6940.pdf

I didn't say that SUSY is completely ruled out all I said was that so far none of the particles predicted by it and not standart model were found.
That doesn't mean they're not there but it's heavily constraining and theory requires some fine tuning to account for that.
In addition LUX has not found any neutralinos http://arxiv.org/pdf/1310.8214v1.pdf so it doesn't look good for SUSY on that front either.
