Root Aphids

So apparently we have root aphids grrrrr. We changed the water in our hydro buckets and added 1/4 c. peroxide. Yesterday there seemed to be less and quite a few dead. Going to change buckets again tonight and add the peroxide again. We also have been battling spider mites from from some clones we bought and we had been trying hot pepper spray but it didn't seem to cut it so I sprayed with part peroxide little bit of rubbing alcohol, water and couple drops of soap. Does anyone have any better ideas. We had used mighty wash before but only knocked em down, didn't get rid of them. Did multiple applications of that. We have Wonder Woman almost ready a huge Pineapple Kush and Afghan Yumbolt a few weeks in. We very unhappily cut down our other pineapple and afghan in veg but took clones. One more huge afghan in flower we completely got rid of it was so bad. HELP! I'm trying to go as natural as I can but at this point I want all the little plant killers gone. On the up side, plants still look good :wall:
 
Going natural indoors is hard. In nature there are other bugs that feed on these pests. My favorite bug is Orius insidiosus. Once you have an outbreak you will most likely need to switch to synthetics.
 
Do you know if I could try putting my hot pepper/garlic spray into the dwc buckets through the net pots to saturate the roots?
