All the streams of water ,soapy or not, plus Lady Bugs in the dusky part of the day people are absolutely correct!
I keep 4 retail stores and one commercial growing range clean that way There also beneficial wasps, no bigger than tiny brown ants with wings that lay their eggs in Aphids. One aphid dies, one aphid hunting wasp is born!
Go on line and type in I.P.M. or Beneficial insects and watch all the great sites that pop up! Bugsie

Lady bugs. Go to Home Depot, and get a bag of them, and then release them in your plants. They are all natural, and the aphids will disappear. And they bring good luck. How cool is that,.

"Garden Safe" insecticidal Soap Insect Killer
If you are near Home Depot they carry it.
If it is real bad do this:
order some live ladybugs on line
wait till late evening
water your garden
release the ladybugs
in the morning they will come out hungry, thirsty and ready to devour your aphids.
release only at evening during the day they will just fly away
its extremely effective

Try using the water out of your washing machine after you have done a load of washing. Use the water with the washing powder still in it so its soapy water not the rinsing water. This is how I was told to get rid of aphids.

Lady Bugs eat aphids. Get some lady bugs and put them on the plant.

Dont buy anything, mix a little dish washing liquid and add some water to a spray bottle and spray both sides of the leaves. This will kill them over night,and it wont hurt your plant.

sevin dust its in a shaker and at depot also try a spray around the area with malathion or diazanon and run it right up the plant from the edge of the beds and do it again in a week so you kill the next generation and then dust a couple times a month

I would rinse them off with a hard spray of water first, then go for the ladybugs.
