Green fly

Hi all

I'm trying to go some mint indoors on a windowsill but i've noticed that the leaves are covered with greenfly. I don't really want to have to resort to chemicals to kill them off. I know ladybirds are a natural predator but they're not the easiest things to come by. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to deal with these pesky creatures?
