Unhappy Aphids During Flowering

I know the answer to this question is somewhere on here, I can't find it. So I apologize in advance for the question.

I just got back from being out of town for 2 weeks. When I left all was good with my gals, no problems. When I returned I noticed aphids all over my indoor grow. They are in day 45 of flowering. Should I spray them with soapy water to get rid of them? Will this hurt my buds in any way? If I don't do anything, will these aphids hurt my buds?

Thanks, all answers are appreciated.

Yeah they were outdoors for vegging. They have been in now 45 days. Until the other day I have not seen one aphid. When I went out of town I asked my hubby to water them and do my nutes, I left specific instructions. I don't think he did it. I think he watered them right before my plane landed. My outdoor gals looked like they were lacking also.
So if I spray the leaves and not the buds it should be okay? What if I didn't spray at all, would the aphids just die?

Thanks for the help.
No, no weird colors or holes.....yet
I will do what you recommended and I will get end all2. I am close to being done, and I don't want to harm those buds, but, I don't want to lose those buds either.
I think these aphids came about because they weren't watered while I was gone.
This is why I won't go out of town again during a grow, you can't trust anyone to take care of your stuff....even your spouse.

no there is no reason for getting them. thats the risk of outdoors. i had them to.
there are other products out there anything that is safe for fruit or veg will work. get organic if you can, nemm oil is another good one.
the chemical in this stuff you are looking for is pyrithirins, not sure on the spelling.

I just ordered the FoxFarms Don't Bug Me Spray. It was 10.99 (usd) for 24 ounces. It says in the description it is safe to use during flowering. I can't wait to get it!! Atleast I didn't have to go to the store.
thanks, peace
