Hi Pottypotter. You could get an organic pest control spray & spray everything which seems to be infested or if it's not too widespread just wash the aphids off everything carefully. You can get sticky traps to hang up as well.Keep checking eveything regularly as if you just missone or two you'll soon have hundreds.

We tend to get blackfly - just spray weekly to keep on top of things.
The organic spray is the one I use too.

Pottypotter, have a good look around outside for ladybirds and put any you find in the greenhouse; both they and their larvae love greenfly and won't leave while you still have the infestation; it's what I do and it works for me. Hope this helps.

Bought some spray and sticky tape, also caught a ladybird and moved it into greenhouse (more to follow) so one way or another I will get rid of them.

Thanks for the tips
