or a brush too is efficient for this.
also, if there is a colony of ants nearby that are protecting those aphids, predators can't approach. You have to deal with ants as well :/

A little paintbrush is perfect for doing this. Some people like using a spray bottle, but ive found it doesn't knock them off as reliably
This is interesting, I did not know the Ants had a relationship with the Aphids.
We get Preying Mantis around here and I always cheer for them, but I wonder each creatures role now.
