Aphid

You have aphids in your yard. They suck juices out of plants and it sounds like you have a nice infestation on several plants. Yes they are a pest.
Aphids can be black, red, yellow, or green.

You did the best thing to control them...spraying with a jet of water. You can also spray your plants with insecticidal soap, besides keeping up with more spraying of the water.
They will die with a frost...if that is any consolation. :-)
