Other than with fire.

I've been spraying Bifenthrin on the ol' lady's plants until I smell like a dog thats been dipped at the vet.

These things keep coming back. Suggestions?

use dishwashing soap and water - bout 2 tbls soap to quart of water. spray underside of leaves, aphids will die of dehydration.

also don't overfertilize your plants, won't get rid of em, but will attract fewer to start with.
