How about some predators to combat them, add them to the area and let Ma Nature do her thing.

{quote]Natural Pest Repellent
Cut up banana peels to bury 1 to 2 inches deep in the soil around plants that are prone to aphid infestations to repel and remove aphids from the area. ... Orange peels are highly fragrant, giving off a repellent scent to keep ants and aphids away from the garden.[/quote]
Place a square of aluminum foil around the base of plants affected by aphids.What kind of bugs eat aphids?
Ladybeetles, Ladybugs, or Ladybird Beetles
Ladybeetles are probably the most well-known of beetles that eat aphids. There are many species, and both the adults and larvae eat aphids.

I had a real bad problem with those little boogers. I used fly tape. Those kind you pull out of the little tubes. Instead of hanging the fly tape from the top of the tent down. I hung mine up between the lights and the canopy of the plants. Side to side . And that way the tape doesn't swing around as much . if there were any flying around they would get stuck. I also shut up pieces of cardboard box and duct tape and duct taped fly tape to the cardboard pieces and laid them in the flower pot. Make sure to try to keep your soil dry as possible. They don't like dry soil. I've also heard of using mosquito bits but I don't feel like I had much luck with them. Good luck

And the battle begins
This is after only 1 hour after sunrise. All small black dots are root aphid flyers. An hour later and twice as many. First step, drench soil and spay seedling with PFR-97. New sticky traps everyday. Inspect for crawlers 3 times a day. Next step Biowar literally and with product same name. Wish me luck please.1 PhotoTags: None
