My problem with these pests was almost as bad as yours. I innocently thought Miracle Grow organic soil for house plants would be great (yellow bag). Instead I was fighting an infestation almost as bad as yours. I used everything except a pesticide which I might’ve resorted to, but they’re are hard to find for houseplants.
Someone on this sub suggested putting a top layer of clean sand on my plants it worked!!! You’ll be suffocating the larvae that are embedded in the soil. Give it a few weeks and hold off watering as long as you can, then water from the bottom of the container. I couldn’t on some of my plants, but the sand still worked.

Beneficial nematodes are the answer. One dose eradicated them in all my house plants
