Yes, squish them with fingers before they spread too much (they're born pregnant you know).
When you cut your lettuce, give it a soak in salty water to get rid of bodies before you eat it.
As a prevention: grow some Limnanthes or similar to attract aphid-eaters like hoverflies and ladybirds.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
