Default Blackfly Blast off

I had a mass of blackfly eating a plant, and had run out of spray, so
decided to reduce their numbers temporarily by blasting them with a
hose pointing upwards. When I returned to spray a couple of days
later, there was no more damage and no blackfly. Is this pure
coincidence, or is this really effective at wiping them out?

No

or is this really effective at wiping them out?

Yes.

We have done this before, especially on our Vicki Plum Tree.
