Springtails

Springtails are microscopic, jumping bugs that thrive in highly saturated environments. They have a special appendage on their abdomen that acts like a spring, allowing them to jump surprisingly high when disturbed. They feed on algae, fungi, and decaying organic matter.

Because they swarm in the thousands, an outbreak of springtails can appear almost overnight. They are frequently found around pool decks, leaky pipes, damp basements, and overly watered house plants. While they do not bite or transmit diseases, their sheer numbers make them incredibly annoying.

To effectively eliminate springtails, Eastline Pest Management identifies and treats the precise moisture sources they rely on. Our treatments knock down the swarming populations, and we help you implement long-term solutions to dry out the affected areas and prevent their return.
