]I got a couple bell pepper plants from a friends garden and put them with all my other pepper plants inside a couple weeks went by and i noticed there were little clear looking bugs colonizing on most of the bottom leaves so i looked on google and found out they were ahpids and found a great site on how to get rid of them http://garden.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-aphids.htm i used a mixture of a dash of liquid catnip a squrit of dish soap and some juice from my jar of minced garlic in the fridge and mix it in a spray bottle and sprayed all my plants a couple days later i found no sign of the little buggers ahhhhh victory is mine muuhaa ha haha ha!!!!!

Thanks for the info! I've got some plants that Just got aphids, and was searching for a spray last night. Don't have liquid catnip, but If I soak dry in hot water and use the liquid, I assume I'll get the same result.

I recently gave up on organic methods of killing the buggers, so I went out and bought some insecticidal soap from home depot. Best $8 I ever spent. Its not natural but man does it work well. My plants are now covered in shrivelled up dead aphids instead of big fat feeding aphids.

a blast of water from the hose blasts them off and they can't get back on. pretty organic really. i though insecticidal soap was organic? maybe not.

my plants are just moved into the house, so to get rid of the aphids i put them in the shower for 5 mins, no more little buggers
