well are u in vegg or flower. If u are in vegg and the plant is small do soapy water and rub lightly under the leaf. Do this a couple of times as these creatures can hatch in 5 days. So 4 or 5 applications would be proper. If u can rinse say 20 min later it is cool aotherwise it will be fine. Think about it though, u have to clean the soap scum off ur tub. Spray underneath too, I think u know this. Also, keep the area clean. I have a shop vac and vacuum around the plant. They are bitch. I could use more info. If u are in flower u can use soapy water, but u can also mix hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and water. About 1 to 3 depending on how bad u want to kill them. Will not hurt the plant. With this method I recomend spraying once a week as it doesnt seem to be as officient.

my cuttings are only a few weeks old they are very small at the moment if u can get on to my profile there should be a post from last week or the week before that has pics of what i thought was a nute problem but found out tonight was pest sucking the nutes from the under side of the leafs
 
Hi mate

the best way to beat thrips/white flys is place perlite over you soil this interupts the matured thrips/WF breeding cycle.
I also sprayed my plants once a week for 3 weeks with a chemical bug spray for tomatoes.
To kill off the flying white flys use them sticky yellow cards you can get from any hard ware store:)

Try post some pics if you can that way we will be able to judge what your problem is a bit better.

hope you get it sorted
