Springtails are tiny about 1-3 mm in length wingless, jumping insects. These insects do not bite, nor do they spread diseases or cause damage to home for furniture. They get their name because most springtails have a forked structure on the tip of their abdomen, which they used to jump or spring into the air. Springtails tend to flourish in humid environment. They are mostly found outside the home between wet leaves, decomposing mulch, and under logs. When temperature is hot and dry springtails may enter the home seeking moist areas, such as basement, bathrooms and sinks. Talk to the best springtails exterminator near you!
