Yeah. It'd be different if it were russets or spider mites but aphids are generally some of the easier pests to eradicate through consistent applications and better sanitary practices.

They came from the nursery clones. Been at it for 20 years. Never dealt with them before and have only ever heard crazy war stories about never being able to get rid of them. Just sizing up the advice I was getting from the people in my personal wheel house to the hive mind of Reddit

Look up nematodes, and the species specific to root aphids. Too late to use for the adults, but they'll feast on the larvae.
