Black Bean Aphids having a PARTY on my pole beans!!!!

Los Alamitos, CA

Ok I think I have ID the black bean aphid, from this photo . . .

Maybe they are all black flies or are some of them the pacific spider mite or the twospotted spider mite

Anyone ID the other partiers ??? I am kind of upset because there doesn't seem to be any treatment for the Bean Aphid.

Unless you know of one? HELP

If they are aphids, maybe they can be hosed off with a brisk spray of water? Perhaps an insecticidal soap would work? I think Shoe and others make a stinky garlic & pepper spray that might keep them from coming back after they are sprayed off? Good luck! I just hate to see all the little buggers feasting on the fruits of all your labor!
