Simplest cheap one is probably as good as any. The fat based soft soaps
are supposed to be better at gungin up insect breathing holes.

You could spray thin cooking oil, that would impede their respiration.

Still thinking about barbequing them? :-)

I don't barbeque. I barbecue :-)

Baste with cooking oil and turn until well done.

You forget, I got rid of my lupins :-)

Oil is used as a biotechnical method of controlling mites in beehives by
some beekeepers. I reckon it would work on lupin aphids - AND prepare them
for the barbecue. I prefer even larger lumps of meat :-)
