Simple present or progressive

So help me with a dispute that I have with one of my colleagues.
Do you say:
”He annoys the children.” or ”He is annoying the children.”
I say that you have to have this specific sentence in a progressive form because the sentence ”He annoys the children.” does not specify a habit. IF the sentence were to be ”He annoys the children every day.” it would be correct.
So my question is. Can you say ”He annoys the children.”
