Help! I have a soil aphid infestation :( :( :(

I started growing trees during lockdown to maintain sanity and now my plants are in crisis.

I've got a couple dozen tree seedlings growing under lights indoors. I noticed last night that 6 or so of my plants had many soil aphids in them. Has anyone dealt with this pest before? I need help with them.

I've moved all of the plants with any aphids outside, away for the (maybe) uninfected ones.

Mix some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and drown the cock suckers. The soap prevents them from moving or breathing and they suffocate.

Good luck soldier :fidel-salute-big:
