Low to moderate numbers of aphids do not harm to leave, But if presents on large number then it may damage to garden. Aphids can also produce large quantities of a sticky liquid known as honeydew, which often turns black with the growth of a sooty mold fungus which distorts growth. Indian Neem Oil is the best insect/pest repellent I believe, ever since my sister's garden area was got infested with rodents and have to contact Exterminator Sacramento CA from their Official site californiarodentcontrol, They suggested using Indian neem oil if in future they faced any fungus or any pest related problems in her garden area.
