....You will never get rid of aphids completely.  You can only design integrated pest management strategies to control them seasonally.  The lady bugs suggested below do work, but then you also have to stop the insecticidal soap spray.  Just another fun dilemma in the greenhouse that you dreamed about having someday..  Even when I don't actually see aphids, I know they're hiding out somewhere.  Observation and vigilance are important.

Can anyone give me advice on combating aphids in a greenhouse? I can't
