Springtail Identification & Prevention
What You Need To Know About These Jumping Pests
Have you noticed tiny bugs jumping around your home? They might be fleas, but they are more likely springtails. Springtails are small arthropods that get their name from the spring-like structure on their backs, which helps them jump away from potential predators. While springtails are harmless, they can become a nuisance when they enter your home in large numbers. Fortunately, Combat Pest Control offers effective treatments to eliminate springtails and keep them away for good. To get started, let's take a closer look at identifying springtails and the steps you can take to prevent them from entering your home with effective pest control services in Massachusetts.
What are springtails?
Springtails are small, wingless arthropods especially common in moist, humid environments. They are usually brown or black, measure about 1/16 of an inch, and are very difficult to spot. They get their name from their unique jumping ability, where they use a furcula (spring-like structure) to propel themselves into the air. Some species of springtails can even survive the winter using a special protein in their body to survive the harsh temperatures.

"I strongly recommend Combat Pest Control"
This is our third year with them. We first called because of ants in the house. I couldn't stop them. Combat did the job and we are ant-free. Combat responds quickly to an ant in the kitchen and wasps and bees nests. Thank you Combat !

I'm very pleased with John's pest control performed on my house in south Weymouth. He has found the nest of the ants. I really appreciate his professionalism. Will hire them again and again.
