    Manual removal and spray with soapy water to help prevent them re-establishing. You'll need to do this routinely.

    I have a lot of ants in the garden who have a seemingly endless supply of aphid slaves. Every time I get some plants cleared, the ants just round up another bunch and drag them back up the plant ! Frustrating, but I love watching ants so I put up with a lot of the aphid damage :)

    BugClear made with rapeseed oil...is quite good & safe
