Answers:
washing up liquid mixed with water. spray it on and it should help.
eat them
A mild mix of water and washing up liquid will do the trick. The other option is Ladybirds/bugs.
Can you give more details? Plant type? Does insect flies?
yeah squash them with ya fingers
Ladybirds eat greenfly. Bring some in to your plant and let them work for you!
You have aphids on an indoor plant? Are you sure? Anyhow, if you do have aphids then you can just squish them between you fingers or make an insecticidal spray. Get a spray bottle and add a few drops of dish soap and a few drops of the hottest pepper sauce you can find and that should take care of them. If you don't want to make your own then you can by it at your local garden center. If you have spider mites rather than aphid then the soap mixture should work on them as well.
Try this. My mother in law uses it on her roses outside and it really works.
Put about three spoonfuls of washing up liquid in a spray bottle with about a quarter of a pint of water. Spray your plants with it and voila! no greenfly.
You'll never get rid of them completely, they're little terrors for always coming back, reappearing. A mild solution of water and washing up liquid squirted on them works fairly well, but if you want a hands-on approach put on a pair of rubber gloves and squash them all! Gently of course so you don't damage the plant, but squash the little devils all the way back to hell!
Yep! Washing up liquid mixed with water and sprayed on the plants.!!
To avoid Red Spider Mites keep a humid atsmophere around the plants. The mites hates this so daily, once or twice, mist your plants would help.
Fillup a spray bottle with your wasing up water or very mild soapy water and spray your plants whenever the green fly appear. This did the trick around my garden and on a houseplant I have in the kitchen.
Good luck
