If a ficus plant quits producing sap after being pruned and de-bugged, is it dead?

I pruned my ficus plant (just a small indoor one) so that it would start growing more horizontal. After that, I found that there were bugs in the soil, so I treated it w/ soapy water. But after 2 months, there's still no new growth, and I just clipped the stem again to see if I could find some answers, and there was no sap inside. Is my plant dead? I can't find any information about why it's quit producing sap, and my only assumption is that it truly is dead. Just want some confirmation before I have to throw it out! Thanks!!
