Use a mild soap water solution to wash them off of the leaves of your plants. Be sure to reach both the tops and the bottoms of the leaves. Also, there is a systemic fertilizer that includes insect control that you can periodically feed your plants.

Soapy water is a common household remedy that gets rid of aphids. One tablespoon (14.79 milliliters) of detergents such as Dawn to one gallon (3.79 liters) of water may be considered the home-made equivalent of store-bought insecticidal soap. Soapy water will be effective whether the insects in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) receive their death sentence by being dropped into a bucket for drowning and suffocating or by being sprayed upon.

Use a contact spray that is organic, that way you can zap them & not hurt the plants.
