Basil is also prone to whitefies. Because you use it in cooking you do not want to use bug sprays. You can buy an application sprayer (glass/plastic jar with plastic top) and mix a mild solution (1 tsp) of dish soap and water, attach to your hose and spray. Look on the internet for chemical free insect control.
