yup, I agree with smileymom, its the best way.

another way is to simply give em a squirt with the garden hose. its not a permanent solution, but it will keep em off for a few days, then just squirt em again. i use this method when i have aphids in manageable areas, if there is an infestation however, i use the soapy water method.

Since I first posted this and then added the alcohol to the mixture they have not came back. Good to know that we can make our own pesticides, huh?
