Default Are Aphids Bad?

Ahhhh no not Aphids!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get the w/l out now, spray the lilies man
the battle stations....oh um wait...do spray them I found a product that is
made from some crushed shells comes in powder form...you mix and spray it on
wont hurt the fish or water only the aphids...there is another product made
from mint and something else (green container & pre mixed) but you can's use
it on w/l. Sorry I don't remember the names of either (all used up in my
successful battle)..I tried drowning, making them fish & bug snacks nothing
worked except the sprays but not before I lost my water hyacinth, fairy moss
& water lettuce not to mention quite a set back for my lilies...cause of
those little bas....um take care of them NOW or they will take care of your
pond plants.

My bro in law gave me a whole mess of water lettuce today. I was in a

hurry
and dumped it all in, and then I notice they were all COVERED in aphids.

Am I in trouble?
