Try some Ortho systemic insecticide, you should resize your pictures.
 
Wow... the wind completely blew the feathers off that chicken! :grin:

and:
Denatured alcohol
mixed with water everyone i knew said that would make a different but imo that was the thing that nearly killed my plant (making all leave's turn brown/black)
either the alcohol killed it...or the ladybug i fed it did it...
 
you used soap? Thats no good
Alcohol (unless you use large quantities) doesn't kill a plant if you apply it on the infected leaves with care
 
Just immerse the pot and plant in a small bucket of rainwater for a couple days. That will drown the aphids and eggs (if any). The water won't harm the plant as long as it has plenty of air circulation afterwards.

Of course there is nothing to keep the aphids from coming back if the plants in the surrounding area are all infested. Use of a systemic insecticide is recommended that contains acephate or imidicloprid as the active ingredient.
 
k i always thought that the VFT would drown Oo how much day's do you reccomend?
 
I'd go for atleast 36-48 hours

edit: if you want to keep your vft's outside (wich is best) you might want to do something about the aphids on the other plants in your garden; Even if you aren't going to put it oustide I would get a product suited to kill the aphids on the other plants, it's not healthy for them either

Don't ladybugs eat aphids? And possibly feed your plants? :D
