I don't know about aphids they are usually located more towards the growtips. They appear to be soft bellied so a variety of mild pesticides would work. Just depends on what direction you want to take, neem oil would work, nicotine tea, garlic and onion tea with or with oil added, safers soap would probably handle them as a stand alone. The list is really pretty long you want to pick out the least toxic which will do the job.
Good Luck
