these....Aphids Right?

Do you just blast them off with water like tomato aphids? Or insect soap.
I just used Spectracide 2 days ago and bifen a week before, and merit 12 days ago.

Get rid of them asap. I would use insect soap. They suck the juice and spread disease. Good luck.

Doesn't sevin work on them? That what I always use for a broad insecticide. And I fertilize with mollasis as a foliar spray. Never had an issue with aphids yet.
