Yes. You can mix a little liquid soap with water and put it in a spray bottle then spray the plant. Also you can mix a little garlic powder with water and spray that as well. Both mixtures kill insects without harming the plant.

You can purchase a chemical free spray to rid the plants of the aphids.

You can go to a good garden center and buy ladybugs to release on your plants. They love aphids! That's better than using chemicals. They really DO work too.

Go to a nursery and buy ladybugs. They are very cheap, too. Not only will they munch down on the aphids, they are so cute!

pepperspray works but ladybugs are a sure thing
there are chemicals but do you really want to spray your food with a chemical that kills then digest it....yuck... the chemicals will absorb into the cucumber untill the skin thickens.
I suggest pepperspray untill you can buy ladybugs!

Lady bugs are truly the best way, but not like you can buy them at Walmart or anything. The soapy water is pretty good, but you must do it often, and there will still be residue.

Ladybugs or praying mantis. You can get either at most nurserys or Home Depot.
