[CH] wee beasties (aphids, I think)

Well hello all,

I've been pretty ,much absent from the list for nearly a year I think.  It's 
a new year though, and I'm thinking in CHILE!

Anyway, last year I started quite a few plants on an indoor stand w/lights.  
Unfortunately, they were ravaged by nasty wee devils  (fat little tear-drop 
shapes with legs, quite tiny).  I used tons of soap on them, but through 
thier resiliance and my lack of rigor, they persisted.  Now it has been 
probably 8 months since any plants have been in the room, and I would like 
to plant a few chilies - is this break enough to prevent a recurrance?  
Should I wash the the stand with soap and water? Something harsher?  Should 
I take a propane torch to the entire room?

Thanks all, glad to be back... can't wait till spring!

Keegan
