Springtails

Are springtails dangerous?

Springtails are not directly harmful to people and do not cause any damage. Neither are they destructive. They do not harm the flora around our homes or the structure of the homes themselves.

However, they have the potential to become a significant source of nuisance.

They come in enormous numbers, are tough to get rid of, and even the tiniest amount of wetness has the ability to entice them into your yard and/or into your house.

Why do I have a springtail problem?

Springtails have found their way onto your property because they have discovered that it provides an environment that is conducive to their needs in terms of food and reproduction.

These little pests eat things like decomposing plants, fungi, molds, and algae, all of which are widespread in garden areas, the soil near foundations or pools, or low-lying regions that gather water in your driveway or lawn. They can also be found in areas where there are pools of water.

Any home or property that has moisture problems has the potential to become a breeding ground for springtails and other pests that have a great demand for moisture.

Where will I find springtails?

There are many areas where you will find springtails congregating:

• Water puddles
• Soil bordering pools
• Damp soil under leaf piles, mulch, or other organic debris
• Underneath outdoor rugs, welcome mats, or potted plants
• Under dripping air-conditioning units
