pests Aphids!

Found some little bastards on one of my seedlings. That live on the roof of my apartment.

The closest plant is an oak tree in front of the building at least 20 feet away.

I squished the ones I saw with my fingers and AzaMaxd the crap out of all the plants. Have no idea where they came from.
 
I get them every year. Dishsoap water and sprays from the hardware store have not helped. I've heard good things about something called Spinosad, though.

I have heard of Spinosad but never looked into it. I already had Azamax which has worked great on mites and the packaging says it also works on aphids. Will give them a check up today and squish any of the little buggers still hanging on.
