Aphids week 3/4 flower

I believe I got aphids i took these photos moments ago. Im growing in fabric pots outdoors with holes in the bottom for better drainage. Putting sand on top will only stop them for a bit until they crawl out the bottom. Any help on what to do would be awesome. I have 12 plants beside each other and i believe other have some but not as many. I havent been paying attention to my plants as much because ive been getting home so late and watering at night. Wish I noticed this earlier :/
Last image is to show how far into flowering

Would spraying with insecticidal soap ruin the crop? I was thinking heavy insecticidal soap for 3 days straight followed by spraying the plant foliage with water heavily to wash it off. Also hydrogen peroxide watering to kill the larva?

Where do they lay their larva? I may do lots of hydrogen peroxide and manually pull them off since it isnt a infestation. Sucks because my favourite plant has the most

Have you tried Spectracide?

Never have heard if it. I should mention I live in Canada so thats going take 80% of the insecticides off the market for me.... I’ll look that up though

Imidacloprid root drench. Thats the only thing that gets rid of root aphids. One application and done.

Mallet is the brand I shelve. 0.5 mL per gallon.

Thank you, that sounds awesome. Going to look this stuff up now.

I recently started using Merit 75 but I don't think you're supposed to use it in flower. It works though from what I can tell.

It's systemic so they won't last more than a few days. It will stop their life cycle.

You are at the end of the time I would apply it so don't waste any time.

Wash them off with water hose.

Downside to the imidacloprid is it's bad for bees. But bees don't pay my bills lol

Looks like the right stuff but it's different packaging than mine so make sure you have the correct application rate.

Here is mine

Damn that actually makes me sad. I saw some bees flying around my plants too I’ll try to read the information given on it. I found some other brands too which have set mixing rates it just costs way more.
Thanks again for your help.

Yeah, not a problem. With that Imidacloprid powder from eBay it's going to be 1 teaspoon of powder per 10 gallons of water.

Thank you for the ratios however I posted two different links which one was the one you were looking at? I’m sure i’ll be able to figure it out once im home. I tried to read the directions on the ebay pictures on my phone but I couldnt make it out....

Ive had them before,safers soap is ok to use.soak a towel rub them off so you dont get any on buds.Then spray with water a day later.Repeat every 3 days,but it maybe a lost battle as there everywhere this time of year.

just had a look t buds there small spray away.

The one with 75 on it. 75% imid. Package looks similar too what I got. Basically knockoff Merit 75.
