pests Nettle leaves as aphids repellant?

Anyone ever used nettle leaves as an aphid repellent?
 
I just foliar sprayed my plants with some juice (put some nettle leaves in a bucket of water, after 5 - 6 days strain and spray)
 
I'll post the results here.
 
 
I've heard of steeping tomato plant leaves and spraying with that.
 
OK, day 1 after spraying with nettle juice tea...
 
So far so good! Most of aphids are gone. I don't know if i killed them or they just left. Found a couple ones and i just crushed them. The terrible smell of the juice tea almost gone, too. Plants looks pretty much the same. No signs of burning or shocking.
 
I'll check again tomorrow and i'll post here the results.
 
Extra Good news : I found some ladybugs on my other plants. Hope they stay.
