If you’re in Veg use a cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1/16 tsp of baking soda in a gallon of water and spray them with a lawn garden pump sprayer!

Spray your plant with water as cold as you can get it.Get a pump sprayer fill it with clean water and put ice in there let it get freezing cold to where there is condensation on the outside.It shocks the aphids and locks up thier sucking parts in thier mouth so they break off and they cant get nourishment and die.Blows them right off the plant if you got a good pump sprayer fully pumped up and stream adjusted on the spraying wand.Its a daily thing but its pretty cheap and it works.Dr zymes works pretty good to bust up bad infestations too.Aphids are the easy ones to get rid of.If the plant is small enough and its in a pot you can put a paper plate over the top of the pot and Plastic wrap it fill a bucket with a half a teaspoon mild dish soap to some clean water and flip plant upside down and soak whole plant for 10 min swirling it every now and then and up and down motions to knock and bugs off .I spray a little neem pyrethrum oil on the wrapped plate section to get any that try to be slick crawl back up and escape

I miss the information how many plants you have, how big they are and if they are flowering or not, if they are indoor or outdoor.
When you have a field of weed it is something different than having just a few one. When it is just about a few one and the plants are small, I would try to clean them under rinning plain water with my bare hands. If they are too big and too many for that I would use soft soap in water and spray them. It will kill all aphids you spray. But this is not reccomended for flowering plants with big buds.
When you grow indoor, you can also use Adalia bipunctata and lacewing larvae Chrysopa to fight the aphids.
burn your house down and start over in a new state
man i hate aphids

Compared to Thrips thier the easiest ones to het rid off IMO.You can kill the suckers with ice water or mild dish-soap soaks to wash off all the stragglers and eggs They dont cut slits in the plant to lay eggs like Thrips and Hoppers do those little fucks are second on my list they suck almost as bad but love the yellow sticky traps and arent as slippery hiding as the thrips.I almost had to use a flamethrower on my Grow for the thrips.Had to Ozone my whole garage for 35 min intervals and do multiple sweeps of The One and Done Spray and remove all soil out my area.I use slow release Nematodes Now in my soil.No thrips or dirt gnats
