LOL you are not alone .
They literally went from me noticing a few one day , to me seeing them EVERYWHERE on my plants within a few days.
I am a big fan of neem as part of an IPM but ya once established they laugh at your neem lol
I don’t even know how much time I spent with each plant in the shower and spraying it off with water and dish soap in my pump sprayer. I ended up buying some type of nematodes that were specific predators of them along with a ton of lady bugs. The nematodes or whatever they were was a complete waste of time and I thought the lady bugs were too . Until they successfully reproduced and their larvae showed up. Those little guys eat an insane amount of aphids compared to the adults.
Here is a picture of the lady bug houses I made for each tent . I drilled holes in it so they could come and go. The sponge is for water for them and the raisins they will eat apparently.
