Spray with a mixture of Fels Naptha laundry soap and water in a spray
bottle. Squish the eggs on the undersides of the leaves. I do this and it
helps immensely. I keep spraying, every day or so, and by a week or so later
they are all gone. Just keep watching the plants though. They come back
easily.

I got aphids on my pequin and bolivian rainbows last winter. This is what I
did and eventually they all went away. Now I have them on my kalanchoe
flowers. Ugh.
