Default Aphid control

I had a massive aphid out break in one of my greenhouses. You can see in the pics the blk slime, aphid poo stuff, and leaf damage. I released parasitic wasps Ervipar, and they turned the plants into the killing fields. I show a pic of a leaf that was covered, and show the back side which is clean except for a few ramaining cocooned aphids. The eggplant leaf is just covered with aphids who are now hosts/ cocooned and dead, and it has very few live ones left. Anyway, it is kinda interesting to look at up close under a microscope, almost as interesting as microbiology class in school. Notice how the plants now have clean new growth that is healthy. Sorry about the pic quality. The damaged leaves have to stay put, I don't want to reduce the wasps population by removing them
