I have minor amount of springtails likely in my drains reproducing in some sludge built up. They have been able to migrate as well as sow bugs in crack between basement slab and wall inside. There are no visible or measurable moisture issues or larger organic debris, known remaining entrances. I suspect micro organics where slab touches soil and maybe sludge in pipes. What do you recommend?
Invade Bio Foam Concentrate will help get rid of the organic matter in cracks, crevices, drains, wall voids, and other areas where scum tends to build up. It will usually take a couple hours to disapate after application but will not kill the insect, only takes the breeding ground and food source away. If no visible signs of moisture are found, you may want to reach out to an inspector to help locate where the decaying matter or moisture issue is coming from. Removing the scum and organic matter may not be enough, this is where we recommend spraying the ouside periemter and inside baseboards, cracks, crevices, under sinks, etc with a residual product. Temprid SC is a great product for indoor/outdoor control in conjuction with Delta Dust as a crack and crevice application around windows, doors, etc. How to Treat for Springtails
