You should try planting some chives in your indoor plant containers.
Got some outside but yup will try almost anything for them, Thanks.
1 of 4 so far popped up for the Trinidad Congo Hab.
Thanks 
Their getting heavier and heavier. The underside of some of them are just covered, squish, squish, even the Basil and Dill I have are crippled.

When aphids start to proliferate I take them to the shower, warm the water to a neutral temperature, then spray them off thoroughly with the shower head. It seems to do a good and often lasting job of knocking them back. But then again, my aphids here don't seem to be as crazy tough as yours.
Hate seeing what you're dealing with.

Still constant battle, hope outside warms up soon.
Might try neem again, was looking for my diatomaceous earth today to add but was not found.
Plus 15c today, put them out, hope they get better.
Did reduce them, problem is their very prolific.
Snow Rain -13c predicted for the week.

Hi Neil,
So sorry about the Aphids, they really do suck...literally! I stopped bringing OW's into the shop, where I start my plants for exactly that reason. For the first time none during the indoor portion of my grow. ANd I never have luck with OW's anyway. New starts always seem to do better for me.
I do see them in the garden, usually later in the season. The ants manage them, so I attack both. I use Terro for the ants, it's a Boron, sugar based solution. I also hose them off with a pretty vigorous water spray, and then treat with Ferti-lome triple action. That stuff both works, and has never hurt the plants. I just keep young ones out of the direct sun if I can. AND, I have throw plants away when they piss me off enough. Queen of Hearts action (Off with their head!).
Good luck and happy growing
