Unity: Enemy Generation Code

I almost got my game done. However, I want to generate infinite enemies, like in avoider games. However, I tried researching and no luck. How can I do this? It is the only thing I need to do to finish my game.

The BlockScript.cs code (The enemy code) is the following:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class BlockScript : MonoBehaviour {

    private GameObject wayPoint;
    private Vector3 wayPointPos;
    private Rigidbody2D rigidBody2D;
    public bool inGround = true;
    private float jumpForce = 400f;

    private float speed = 6.0f;
    void Start () {

        wayPoint = GameObject.Find("wayPoint");
    }

    private void awake()
    {
        rigidBody2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }


    void Update () {

        if (inGround)
        {
            inGround = false;

            rigidBody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpForce));
        }

        wayPointPos = new Vector3(wayPoint.transform.position.x, transform.position.y,
            wayPoint.transform.position.z);

        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position,
            wayPointPos, speed * Time.deltaTime);

        Vector2 min = Camera.main.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector2(0, 0));

        if(transform.position.y< min.y)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

    }
}

The typical solution would be to store your enemy (the complete hierarchy for a GameObject) in a prefab so that they can be re-used and instantiated from code. Then, create a reference to your prefab and instantiate it whenever you see fit. For example:

public GameObject EnemyPrefab; // assign this in editor
(...)
Instantiate(EnemyPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation); // creates a new enemy

You will probably need to control this functionality from a separate script, not from the enemy script itself (eg. create a specialized EnemySpawner script)
