Tiny black terminator bugs

Please help, I have lots of little black bugs on the head of my daisies. I have tried washing them off with water, spraying them with chemicals but like the terminator they just keep coming back. The poor plants are so sad looking and I just want them to look much more healthy. Any advice would be great.

If you spray flowers with chemicals you'll kill the bees and butterflies and other pollinating beneficial insects
