Put ant traps at the base of the plants (they "herd" aphids much like we do cows), introduce some ladybugs, if possible (natural predator) and you can spray them with a mixture of cooking oil, a little dish soap and warm water. This will kill them.

There are many sprays you can use to control aphids in the garden. Listed below are a few to consider.
Garlic spray - Chop or grind garlic cloves into fine particles. Mix with water, then strain to form a clear solution. Spray in two applications 2 to 3 days apart. Spray must come in contact with the aphids to be effective.
Hot pepper spray - Chop or grind hot peppers into fine particles. Mix with water, then strain to form a clear liquid. Spray in two applications 2 to 3 days apart. Spray must come in contact with the aphids to be effective.
Commercial insecticidal soap spray - Spray every 2 to 3 days for up to two weeks. Spray entire plant, especially under the leaves.
Coriander and anise spray - Add coriander to anise oil, making an emulsion. Spray on plants to kill aphids.

attempt planting shrubs and flowers which will entice ladybugs (that feed on aphids). There are additionally some companies that sell ladybugs and could inform you information on the thank you to lead them to stay on your backyard as quickly as you enable them to bypass (ie: enable them to out at night because of the fact they are going to bypass to sleep and while the awaken in the morning, they are going to already be used to the section, etc.).
