You can use soap to kill these. Simply take a spray bottle, fill
the bottom with water and add a drop of dishing washing soap. Spray
all all the plants, wait a minute and wash the plant down with clean
(pure) water. All aphids will be dead. This works on spider mites
too, but they move around more and hitting them all is nearly
impossible.
