pests advice on heat and aphids

So I have a chipmunk chewing my potted 7pot and ghost pepper plants so I moved them from outdoors into my shed for a day. The plants were healthy and flowering. When I went into the shed last night to look that the plants the 7pot was covered in aphids, they were everywhere. They were not there the day before and now bam,,,, there they are..... I cleaned them off the best I could and put both plants back outside to fend for themselves once again......the ghost didnt have any on it as far as I could see... fingers  crossed...
 
 
I have a temp gage in the shed, while the plants were in there it was 83% humidity with the highest temp being 100deg. Does the high temp encourage the aphids?? Are they a soil born insect??  I have a very short fuse for these critters as they decimated my venus flytrap collection over the past winter, I lost almost 40 plants.... almost wiped out a 4 year collection effort... 
 
 
 

I've noticed aphids much more when I'm starting or just growing plants indoors.  I tend to overwater more than underwater and I keep a heat lamp on, so my conditions are similar to yours, more wet and heat.  So just by comparison and personal experience I've noticed much LESS when I bring everything outdoors and it can dry properly with wind, sun, etc.
 
And sorry to hear about the flytrap collection.  Mother nature can be rough sometimes

Aphids are buttholes and yes, they spawn like mad when it is warm and humid.  Do the dish soap treatment one evening for an immediate, temporary fix.  After the sun goes down, grab a spray bottle.  Mix water and dish detergent, soak all the leaves really well, especially the undersides.  Go back and rinse thoroughly after 20 minutes so you don't suffocate the plant.  It'll knock the population down short term and give you a chance to institute a more serious solution.  If you don't have a spray bottle for your plants, go snag a hand pump sprayer from your local big box store.  The big sprayers are handy, but I've also got one of these that I love for smaller jobs.  The spray spread on the thing makes it easy to soak leaves quickly.  I use it for foliar feeding, knocking aphids down, and misting/watering seedlings.
