	For short term control (*very* short term) you can
	simply spray them off with water.  Be sure to wash
	them off the undersides of the leaves, this is where
	they can hide.  This will not kill them, it merely
	removes them.

	I use a mixture of soap, mouthwash, tobacco juice
	and water... there are lots of variations on this, as 
	well as opinions as to its appropriatness.  Are you
	looking for something more organic, or is chemical
	bombs-away A.O.K?
