Strawberry creatures?

[DaveC]

I had some strawberry plants last year which i took runners from. They spent a few months outside then I put them in my greenhouse. They are doing really well sending up fresh green shoots and have some healthy looking leaves. As I looking at them this morning I noticed they were housing some small light brown insects with long legs under the leaves and also on the stems, I picked some of the leaves off to try and get rid of the nasty little things but there are just so many and I dont want them damaging my plants.

Is there anything around the house i could use to get rid of them?

Thanks

You'll need to take everything out of your greenhouse too, and clean all the inside with hot water & soap and scrub with a brush in all the little cracks and crevices.
