I'm wondering how Alex's application of pryrethrum worked out? I must admit that remedy is entirely new to me. (for aphids)
Ladybugs are the only thing that has ever worked in my house.
A very strong solution of dish washing detergent sprayed on the plants (outdoors) is helpful. How strong? Can't say exactly. I just squirt a bunch of the detergent into my 1 gal sprayer and fill with water. Completely drench the plant and let sit for 5-10 min and then rinse thoroughly with garden hose. The concentration must be strong enough that it would damage the plant if not rinsed off.
