Springtail Control That Gets to the Source
Springtails are tiny, often gray or black, and they jump when disturbed, which is why people mistake them for fleas. They live in damp soil, mulch and decaying plant matter.
When their outdoor habitat floods or dries out, they move toward the house. We treat the damp areas where they breed and the entry points they use.
Signs of springtails
- Tiny jumping specks near tubs, sinks or windows
- Clusters on damp patios or foundations
- Activity after heavy rain
- Specks in potted plant soil
- Large numbers in mulch beds
Why here
Why Springtails Are So Common in Louisiana
