Your soil is bad, quarentine and toss it! You need to replant in fresh soil, and wash the plant and roots carefully before placing in new soil so as not to cross contaminate. Check all your other houseplants too and check to see if they are ok or if they need to be repotted too.https://www.avoseedo.com/successfully-growing-avocados-in-a-pot/https://www.californiaavocado.com/how-tos/your-own-avocado-tree -

Use diatomaceous earth powder. Not a poison. Safe for animals and food crops. Cheap to purchase and works on all kinds of crawling insects. Dust the plant undersides and tops, let sit for 2 weeks so larvae can also be killed, then rinse off. Don't breathe it in while dusting, very fine talc gets in the lungs.
