I am thinking you are overwatering, the creatures may be fungus gnats, this is all fairly typical for serrissa.

Dunking a couple times a week is NOT the prefered method for watering, water as needed from the top, let the soil dry down to just moist(not wet), but also be carefull, these dislike drying out more than being overwatered.

A pyrethrin based insecticide is what I use generally for this stuff, there are a bunch out there.

I would start putting them out until you have consistant temps above 65 -67 f.

The contrary info I will give is to let them have a frost or 2 before bringing them in for the winter, they will shed and give you wonderfull half sized leaves.

Phase into the sunlight when you do get them out, it's a huge difference between light inside and direct sunlight. They do better in partial sun once outside, but I have mine in a basement (east ) window, with a florescent fixture over the top, on from 6:00 am to 6:30 pm, and this leaves growth a bit course.
