Hi Madelyn. Sorry you’re dealing with pests they are so frustrating. My go-to treatment is a mix of 2 quarts warm water with 1/4 c tea tree oil castille soap, 1/4 cup peppermint castile soap, 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide, and 1 cup isopropyl alcohol. Spray every leaf and every surface, including the soil then repeat every 2-3 days. For more intense infestations I also use captain jacks dead bug brew and bonide systemic granules. Hope this helps, best!

You need to know about the bug’s life cycle and reapply your potions multiple times.

Bonide! That’s what did it for me. Get the granuals and put them in the soil (I did all my plants (wear gloves). Get the Bonide insecticidal soap and spray down the leaves and stems. It took a good month and a half until I didn’t see them anymore. Make sure you follow the instructions. Good luck!!!
