I still am infested with them, both indoors and out. It seems that no matter how much I spend picking, squashing they just come back. I bought some ladybirds and larvae, they ate for a bit then flew off It is relentless and I wish I had enough time to turn over every leaf and squash them all but its just not possible...damn things!
I seem to remember that very diluted washing up liquid (a teaspoon in a couple of litres of water) sprayed on (you'll maybe have to uncurl the leaves) gets rid of them. My celery is infested so I'm going to have to try this.
I had lots of green & blackfly earlier on, when it was really really hot & dry and I was squishing & blasting every other day. Now though the ladybirds have caught up (and on), there are 100s of them
