Please help with my hot peppers that are being ravished!

Hello fellow hot heads! I have been having some major problems in the garden. I live in Hawaii and have several hot peppers growing, fish pepper, Hawaiian pepper, black pearls, and the bhut jolokia. I have noticed these black guys under the leaves of some of my peppers and tomatoes, did some research and figured they were aphids? I watched a video where guys sprayed their plants with a direct stream of water to kill them. Tried that and not sure if they died or not but they remained on the plant. The plants seemed healthy so I figured best left untouched. A few weeks later I wake up and every leaf on my Hawiian pepper plant had fallen off over night. Three days later my perfect healthy looking black pearl pepper plant did the excact same thing! I am desperately hoping to catch this before it spreads to my jolokias or other tomatoes. Please I you have seen and know what this is help me out. Thanks
