"Try planting some alyssum, chives and garlic near your tomatoes, aphids hate them. You can also, before you go get your ladybugs, puree two cloves of garlic, 2 hot peppers, and one-third cup water in a blender, strain out the solids and add a quarter of this mixture to a gallon of water. Spray it on your aphids. Add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to this mix to make it extra strong. This is a general insect repellent, so spray it right on the infestation and try to avoid the beneficial bugs."
