Joan,
For your aphid problem I will give you a few thousand lady bugs. Our house is so badly infested (they winter in the walls) that I've been vacuuming up several hundred almost every day all winter long from our south facing windows. On a warm spring day it is dangerous to open your mouth outside.

Haven't seen an aphid in years.

I attribute this to my father in law buying a package of lady bugs and letting them go sometime in the late 60's.
