pests OK, need a nuclear option for Aphids!

Update.
I found the aphids Sunday and sprayed with the hose real hard. There were lady bugs so I didn't want to use any pesticide. Today there were way fewer aphids! and tons of lady bugs in all stages of life! What a blessing. I didn't have to order more since mine have been procreating like crazy. Must be the lady bug porn I have out there. :P

Glad to hear that. Thinking of getting some lady bugs also. As the majority of my important plants are under tulle covered cages. So I could possibly keep them isolated to certain plants. Unless they find their way to crawl out. That's why I'm thinking the ants are controling everything.
 
Watch for aphids under row covers. I have had that before. It seems like they can get stressed from heat and you don't notice the aphids. I have not had problems with my lady bugs leaving but I do tend a half acre garden.
