Does Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust 1% kill Springtails?

I purchased Evergreen Dust, & put it all along the baseboards in my home. I also use sticky boards to see if the product is working. Well, so far, we have caught loads of springtails on the sticky boards, after putting the Evergreen Dust down. Question, "will this product help rid us of these horrible bugs in our house, & carpeting?" TY in advance for the answer!

Answer:

Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust 1% is not labeled to treat for springtails. However it should kill them when they come in contact with the product. Do you have a positive ID on the insect. If it is springtails, please review our How to Control Springtails page.  Also, springtails are attracted to water. Have you checked for any possible water leaks? You also want to make sure to treat aroun the outside perimeter of your home. You can use a product like Talstar P to treat around spraying 2-3 feet up out all the way around the outside perimeter of your home.
