Good idea with proper treatments. making your own oil or soap is a huge mistake, too much could hurt the plant, not enough will not work. Use products labeled for aphid or white fly use. Those look like white fly larvae to me. Usually on the bottom of the leaves though, so maybe something else? Always treat your plants before you bring them in. It's going to be hard to get rid of them now. They can hide indoors, and keep reinfecting plants.
For aphids and whitefly I like All seasons oil with a mild organic insecticide added. I like to use the one from the chrysanthemum flower. It is now synthesized, and better isomers are used, yet it is not dangerous, with a 1 day PHI.
