Touch them with rubbing alcohol on a qtip or spray them off with a gentle shower. If you see them they probably already have laid eggs as well so you will have to do this a several times until they are gone

I second what Alocasia addict said! I’d get it out of the pot, treat with some rubbing alcohol on a qtip, do a hydrogen peroxide dip, in some fresh soil (clean the pot if you’re going to reuse it,) and treat with an insecticide
