Indoor aphid control?
"David Auker" wrote in message ...
I brought some sweet pepper plants inside for the winter, and they have
quite a zillion aphids enjoying themselves right now. I hosed and doused
with soapy water. I'm going to try dabbing leaves/stems with diluted
rubbing alcohol.
Can you suggest any home remedies?

What you are doing will eventually work. I actually put a contaminated
houseplant under the shower (you need a phone shower, so you can douse
the underside of leaves) and that has been sufficient in both cases I
have had aphids inside. The aphids themselves go down the drain with
the water.
