Here's what I do:
Take a spray bottle. Take 1/16 teaspoon liquid soap, put into spray bottle. Fill spray bottle with water, allowing suds to fall into sink.
After watering for the day, spray this mixture on each surface that you find the bugs. If they're on stems, spray all stems, if they're on tops of leaves, spray there. Bottoms of leaves? Spray there, but lightly since that's where the stomata are, which are pores that allow the plant to "breathe."
Do this daily for 3 days, stop for a day, see if they return.
Won't work on tomatoes since the leaves will shrivel. Plant a row of marigolds. Their fragrance repels many insects.
