Springtails (AKA Snow Fleas) are a nuisance pest that are commonly misidentified as fleas. They are similar in size and they jump just like fleas do, however, springtails do not bite or carry diseases. Although they are small, they can easily be identified by their two long antennae.

Springtails feed on decaying organic material. They are attracted to moisture and are often found in clusters in tubs or sinks or in plant soil. Springtails found in other places like under rugs or in closets are a sign of moisture where it shouldn’t be.
