Echiveria

I have lots of Echiveria in my Greenhouse. Each year they get small bugs on the new growth- It might be aphids. Not sure. Any idea what chemical may be safe for the leaves. Some of the Safer products seem to do damage to the leaves.
Thanks Mike

Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know of a US source for some of the fancy, hybrid Echeverias that I've seen on some Australian/New Zealand websites?
