The great basil aphid war of 2023

I found tiny bugs on my basil plant last spring and thought a quick spray with soapy water would fix it. It took me three weeks of checking every leaf, picking them off by hand, and finally using a mix of neem oil every four days to really clear them out. The whole thing felt like a full time job just for one pot on my fire escape. Has anyone else had a pest problem that just would not quit?

Oh man, I spent so much time on my aphids I started naming them.

My basil plant turned into a tiny bug battlefield for a solid month.
