Attacked Lavender

Phoenix, AZ(Zone 9b)

Any help on this one is so much appreciated! I have a desert lavender (or at least that what I was told it was, from searching the plant files I believe it is a fern leaf lavender) Anyhow, it has been surviving the AZ summer pretty well, until a few weeks ago.... I noticed it was starting to look brown and when I watered it these bugs came to the surface. By doing some research on the site I was pretty sure they were millipedes. I used some store-bought plant bug spray and moved the plant to a shadier spot. It seemed to be bug free for a while but not looking any better. This morning when I watered I noticed several small ant looking creatures with what appeared to be long antennas. They are too small and moving too much for a picture unfortunately.

Any thoughts or help?? I really would hate to loose this plant!

Thanks in advance!!
