Subject:       Ack! aphids.

I just noticed a fine crop of aphids on one of my windowsill VFTs. Right now
my biggest fear is that they'll spread to some more expensive CP or orchids, so
I have sealed the plant in a plastic bag. Since I can't take the plant
outside to use nasty pesticides at this time of the year (7 inches of snow
today), I am limited to sunspray oil, horticultural soap (Safer brand), or
pyrethrin. Which of the above are least likely to do serious bodily harm to a
flytrap? Ideally, I'd like something that doesn't harm the pretty liverwort
growing at the base of the plant.
