Question: What does it cost to get rid of springtails?
ANSWER It may seem to be an easy task to provide an estimate for the cost of service via e-mail. However, insect problems and infestations are different, each house is different, and the conditions of each property are different. Thus quotes and estimates for the cost of control are best done locally and usually with an inspection by a service technician.
You should contact the local Branch office of Orkin for estimates on the cost of pest control service and for scheduling service.
These small insects do not damage houses; they simply invade from the outside. They are easily controlled by vacuuming. They prefer humid locations and must have high humidity to live for very long. The best long-term solution is to dry the location and keep it dry. A hair dryer can be used to selectively dry out sites, you can direct the heat at the locations you have seen the springtails. A dehumidifier may be helpful.
Springtails do not bite people or pets, but they can be a nuisance when they occur in large numbers.
