Springtails?!

Shreddy · 07-07-2025, 06:53 PM

Anyone deal with springtails (tiny bug) around Lake Winni? We're in Moultonborough and noticed a much larger population of them this year around window sills, doors, countertops, etc. (inside and out) and need to figure out how to contain and get rid of them. They're a nuisance of a tiny little bug that we don't want to deal with. I recall seeing them years ago, but they largely disappeared on their own and I haven't dealt with them until this year.

I plan to call Winni Pest in the morning, but the internet is all over the place with controlling this tiny little bug. I figure I can't be the only one around Lake Winni fighting these things so I was wondering if anyone had some reasonable solutions other than seal cracks, eliminate moisture, etc.

TIA!
