Springtails are very small, jumping insects that can sometimes become a problem inside homes. Springtails are usually found in areas of moisture, so indoors they may located near potted plants, sinks, bath tubs or kitchen compost areas. These insects are typically found outside in gardens, near swimming pools or near where there is excessive moisture or standing water.

Springtails are small (about 1/16 of an inch long), wingless and come in various colors. These insects have a “tail” that latches into a space on the underside of the body that they can use to “jump” several inches into the air.

Springtails are considered a nuisance insect, but some may chew on roots and leaves of sapling plants. They usually do not cause enough damage to warrant control measures to be taken. If you have springtails in your home it points to a moisture problem that should be fixed.

Options for helping reduce springtail problems:• Remove excessive mulch and/ or leaf litter near the home• Change watering schedule to reduce the amount of moisture near

the home• Use fans or dehumidifiers to reduce moisture indoors• Seal cracks, crevices, pipe & wire penetrations on the outside of

the home• Replace or repair any screening on doors and windows that is

damaged• Replace weather stripping around doors and windows that does

not provide a good seal• Suck up any indoor infestations with a vacuum
