If you have a springtail infestation in your home, there are a few changes you'll want to make. These can help make your home less prone to infestation by other insects. Through this process, you'll also be able to identify and repair serious problems, such as leaky pipes or poor indoor ventilation.
To help prevent another springtail infestation, consider taking the following steps:
Springtails aren't considered to be dangerous pests to humans or animals. Springtails eat decaying plant matter and don't transmit diseases to humans. Some gardeners consider them to be beneficial insects. However, they may cause yellow stippling in plants, making it essential to consider removing them if you have indoor or outdoor plants. They can also indicate humidity issues inside your home, leading to mold or rot.
Springtails typically live outdoors, but if your lawn is overly soggy or has too much humidity indoors, you could see them in places you hadn't seen before. While springtails are relatively harmless critters, they indicate a problem that can impact the rest of your home. Too much moisture can also make your home an attractive habitat to other pests.
Springtails are tiny and breed rapidly, making them challenging to remove independently. They're also resistant to pesticides, making it difficult to remove them from an area outdoors where they've established themselves. A professional exterminator can ensure any springtails indoors are eliminated, and the conditions helping them thrive outside are mitigated.
