    Looks like either thrips or spider mites. I use a spray bottle with 1 part isopropyl alcohol, 5 parts water, and a drop of dish soap Spray on/under leaves, then use a brush or paper towel to spread it across the leaf and stem. This will gets rid of mealy bugs, thrips, spider mites.. probably other stuff too lol. Repeat once a week until the pests are gone Additionally, basil plants like to have their own pot. So I have a bunch of tiny pots so each of them can have their own pot. Once I did that, they really started looking better
