Aphids?

9 years ago

Just discovered that most, if not all my tomatoes are covered in little black winged creatures, and some even smaller black moving dots. I assume these are black aphids and their children?

I've battled aphids on chillies before, using a pine soap spray. But that was plants cut down for overwintering - spraying every bit of surface was possible. With the bushy tomatoes, I can't imagine being successful this way.

1) Will the aphids ruin my plants/crop, or can they still be healthy with some aphids around?
2) How can I get rid of them?
3) Anything I can do to prevent these annoying creatures camping up on my plants if/when I get rid of the current colony?
