I have some type of bug infestation...HELP!

These bugs are white and small to the naked eye...they are on my leaves and the plant is strugling...fan leaves curling and drying up...what are these bugs and what can i spray on them...i need help ASAP!
 
Thanks for the quick reply! I did more research after my post and what I have is a thrip infestation. I've bought a spray for it and I looks like its working... But how long does it take before they're completely eradicated?

What are you spraying them with? Veg or Flower? How many plants?

There's only 3 plants now...the fourth was damaged so bad by these pests before I realized it that I had to cut her down (I normally only start from seeds and have never had any pests in my garden but I was doing someone a favor and took their clones in...they didn't even know they had a problem). I only have one in flowering cycle, but she hasn't kicked out white hairs yet. The other two are clones 3-4 weeks old. Captain Jack's with Spinosad is what I've been using. The thrips have done some damage to all 3 plants but no damage that they can't recover from. I'm spraying every day and I'm not seeing any more of those buggers but how much longer should I spray? I still have one clone that has been quarantined from all the others but I still sprayed her too...roots are starting and I have to put her in the tent soon. Pics below...

Daily spray is too often. Every three days will catch new ones as they hatch and 4 treatments in a row should be enough with a weekly spray for a month to get the stragglers. Neem with some Safer's soap worked for me.

Make sure you get underneath the leaves really good as well.
