Your description is very vague.
You could have any of the following.
Springtails
Hypoaspis miles
Mould mites
Bulb mites
Root aphids
Google the above to look for images and see if any of the above match yours.
Then come back to me with which you have identified and we'll see if we can't get you sorted.

Probably springtails.
Do they look like slender grains of rice?
When you water if they're springtails you'll see them jumping.
If you had thrips you'd find them on the leaves before the soil.

They have to be startled in order to be seen jumping.
Try watering and watching the soil surface closely.
Make sure you flood the top of your soil then you'll see some jumping.
