Satsuma Orange Tree Issues

Pass Christian, MS

I have a small Satsuma Orange Tree that is still in a pot for the second year I have owned it, I have transplanted it in the fall and it was doing great until the other day when I noticed new growth was deformed with a white stain and small orange dots.
I have pruned off the deformed leaves and sprayed the plant with horticultural soap, is this the most appropriate method of dealing with this?

looks like some sort of leaf miner...or worm that is inside of the leaves. Remove infected leaves and burn or destroy.

I would apply 2 or 3 weekly Bt or pyrethrins applications.
