Aphids found on kitchen plants - removed - what about fruit in my kitchen? aphids on windows? etc?

Question

I took in a plant and discovered it had aphids, which quickly infested the other nearby plants - the plants have been moved for aphid removal. These plants were sitting on a window sill. I found them on the sill also - and quickly cleaned up the whole area with a vinegar/water mix. If I missed any, WILL aphids infect my nearby FRUIT (bananas, apples) AND can aphids survive on the sill without a plant? on my counter? on my dish towel? Is it okay now???

Answer 1

Not sure how long they live on windowsills but you probably got them all.

Also, in the future, you can get them off your plants with a solution of about a teaspoon of dish detergent mixed with about a quart of water and pour it over your plant.  The soap is mild enough to not harm the plant but harsh enough to kill the aphids.
