One of my farm friends had actually suggested (for my roses) the lady bug treatment. (Releasing lots of ladybugs to eat the aphids. )
Almost all the ladybugs you buy online for this are Chinese ladybugs which are quickly becoming an invasive species. Because people bought these ladybugs to fight other pests, these Chinese ladybugs now greatly outnumber the American ladybugs.The American ladybug is not officially threatened but it is still very rate to see them. The Chinese ladybugs are orange with black spots, the American ladybugs are red.
I have planted chives and cat mint next to my strawberries to deter insect pests but the effective range appears to be only about 6", and it only works in dense plantings where the breeze is minimized so as not to blow away the insect-offensive scents.
I have also put Tanglefoot (a sticky glue for the garden that never dries or washes off) on the base of plants that are not affected yet. Since Tanglefoot is not water soluble, it will not wash off with normal methods. You might want to wear disposable rubber gloves on BOTH hands when dealing with this.
