What can I used to kill aphids on my potted herbs?

Our Advice:

If you are using the herbs for cooking, move them outdoors for an hour and spray them with PY insecticide from Vitax or Pyrol from Neudorff. Both are based on pyrethrums, which are broken down by sunlight and only last on the plant for 24 hours.
