For short term control (*very* short term) you can
simply spray them off with water. Be sure to wash
them off the undersides of the leaves, this is where
they can hide. This will not kill them, it merely
removes them.
I use a mixture of soap, mouthwash, tobacco juice
and water... there are lots of variations on this, as
well as opinions as to its appropriatness. Are you
looking for something more organic, or is chemical
bombs-away A.O.K?
