Springtails

As the weather gets warmer we receive a number of calls each year from customers that have minute bugs that jump when you get close to them. These pests are called springtails. They are harmless insects that do not bite, spread disease, nor damage household furnishings. They do not possess wings, are about 1-2mm long and vary in color.

They are generally found outside but occasionally they enter a house where dampness occurs such as in basements, cellars, bathrooms and kitchens, especially near drains, leaking water pipes and sinks.

Although these insects are harmless they can be annoying. Stewarts can treat springtails for you, for more information contact us.
