John from S.e. Michigan writes

I live in Michigan and it can get pretty damp during summer with he humidity and I have a pretty bad Springtails.

They come back every year. in both basement and up stairs bathrooms and in my kitchen. It's not a "wet" basement and we have a dehumidifier going all summer. And my bathroom upstairs with the shower has an exhaust fan as well. So typical moisture nothing excessive. I see then around the sinks and toilets mostly because they show against the light colors but i am sure they are all over. I have tried bleach in the sink and I don't want to go crazy with the tallistar P in teh bathrooms for obvious reasons. blah blah blah... nothing seems to work. I have seen the INTICE 10 as outside bait but not sure if that is really going to work? Any help/advice is appreciated.

Answer:

Intice 10 will not work for springtails due to their feeding habits. We would recommend trying a dust such as Delta Dust in and around all of the cracks and crevices where you are seeing activity. Delta dust is a good choice because it works even if it gets damp and it lasts up to 6 months. We would further recommend that you treat the exterior of your home with Talstar P. Pull back any mulch, straw or plant bedding at least 6 inches from your home. Make sure your gutters are in good condition and are not causing water to pool against the structure.
