Your balcony garden has multiple pests: soil‑dwelling springtails (from overwatering), aphids on leaves, and likely mealybugs (cottony substance) plus fungus gnat larvae on jasmine. First, reduce watering—let pots dry well between drinks. For organic control, spray all plant surfaces and soil with a mix of 70% rubbing alcohol and water (1:1) plus 1 tsp dish soap per quart, twice weekly for three weeks, then weekly for three more. Neem oil is an excellent alternative if available. Identify mealybugs via image search; fungus gnats thrive in wet, peaty soil—improve drainage and let soil dry.
