Have the same problem, this year I have been using soapy water in a spray bottle and it raelly does work.
It's meant to suffocate them and the soap make the plant to slippy for them to grip.

We have so many green and white fly this year, I have never had this many. I am going to try the soapy water spray, how diluted should it be and what exactly should I use?

I used some soapy water and it did nothing!
I used washing up liquid and water before I went out. When I came home, the greenfly were everywhere again.
I have gone over everything with a bug spray this afternoon in the hope to get rid of them.
