We have springtails making their way into our home. We have small kids and a dog so we want to use products that are safe for them. Are these a good option for our mulch, or would it be better to use the Eight granules?
Tech Support says
Ann,
All three options are safe for use around the home as detailed in this safety video:
.
Granules Safety: https://bugspray.com/safe#granules-8211-safe-handling-use-and-storage
.
What’s more important is to understand the 4 main products used for Springtail control. We’re about to do a video on this because apparently there is a lot of misunderstanding on just how each of the 4 products work.
.
The first two for outside will be the Maxxthor Granules and Spray. The Maxxthor is the best slowing releasing over 30 days and getting any down in the dirt, the ones you CAN’T see. The Maxxthor Spray is for all the ones you do see on the plants, cement and the sides of the home.

.
Maxxthor EC: https://bugspray.com/catalog/insecticide/liquid/maxxthor-ec
.
For inside, the two counter products are the Bithor and the FS MP. The FS MP is like the Granules; its for the ones you CAN’T see so rely on it by injecting it to all cracks and crevices – especially points of entry like windows and doors. The Bithor is for all surface areas and when used with our Mini Mister, it can be used on top of carpeting, furniture and even walls.

.
Bithor: https://bugspray.com/catalog/insecticide/liquid/bithor_sc
.
Mini Mister: https://bugspray.com/equipment/foggers/mini-mister
.
So if you believe you have springtails, you must be seeing them somewhere? And if so, it will require at least the Maxxthor EC applied outside but if they’re inside, you’ll need to treat with the FS MP and Bithor as well.

We have springtails. On the outside perimeter of our home we have several raspberry bushes. Will this product harm those or is this a compound similar to diatomaceous earth? What do you suggest dosage is for outdoors treating these pests and what product do you recommend for inside?
Tech Support says
B,
Use our garden safe Bifen granules for the outside. Diatomaceous earth is very different, works different, etc. and not an option for this task. The garden labeled granules can be ordered here:

The Cyonara spray we have is labeled for use on gardens too so you can spray it over the raspberries as per label.

As for the inside, the Alpine we have listed above is perfect.

Hope this works.. We have an infestation of millipedes but we compost. I am sure this is my main source but I am sad to kill my earthworm. We do what we have too! Thanks for the info.
admin says
These granules will definitely help. And guess what? No need to worry about your earthworms! Essentria uses food extracts for actives and treating the compost won’t bother the worms in any way!
