My pest control service guy told me he won’t be able to get rid of the springtails in my house for good. When he was treating, they would come back in a few days and I was like calling every week for him to spray again. Then we got some of your products and now this year the power injector. Well last year we had great results I didn’t have to call him. And with the power injector, we only saw them for two weeks. After the second treatment they were gone. Now i’m wondering can I get rid of them for good?
Of course you can! Think about it.
Let’s say you put a springtail in a mixture of Maxxthor or Bithor. Well as you would see, it will die quickly. Bithor/Water will kill them in less than 3 minutes. Maxxthor/Water will kill them in less than a minute and Maxxthor/Base Oil? Less than 10 seconds.
This means that if you deliver any of these treatments to all of their nests in your home, they’ll be gone for good.
Another way to envision this result would be if you could treat the home in layers. So if there was some way to remove every layer of construction on your home and have nothing left but the wood framing, you could then treat every inch of the structural members. And then if you could somehow add every layer back treating it as it was re-installed, your home would be pest free. Of course this isn’t possible BUT with the POWER INJECTOR, you can now reach deep nesting springtails (and other pests). And if you deliver Maxxthor or Bithor to those remote locations? They’ll be gone for good!
Of course you will still need to apply MAXXTHOR GRANULES and MAXXTHOR SPRAY to the homes exterior to prevent re-infestations but you get the point.
In summary, every home can be purged of any pest but to reach that goal, you need to meet the requirements. And since springtails will be living in hidden spaces, it can be a challenge! But armed with the Power Injector, now you have a fighting chance to reach that goal!

I have springtails in vegetable garden beds and planters in backyard and side yard. Also under front yard turf and rocks. I have been treating WITH ALPINE WSG , FS MP aerosol and demand g granules. Still seeing them inside near window sills and patio entryways. Recently noticing in second floor bedroom below air vents and bedroom has wall sharing with my side yard garden. Do I need to remove my garden completely to get rid of them for good . Please help

Sam,
So first, thanks for sharing! That said, the Alpine and Demand you mentioned would not be of my help. And though FS MP can penetrate under baseboards and around windows better than Alpine, it won’t do nearly as well compared to our Power Injector filled with Xempt EC or Maxxthor EC. You can read up on them here:

https://bugspray.com/exempt/liquid/pest-xempt-e-c
The Xempt used inside under your baseboards is key for keeping them out of your living areas. For the homes exterior, the Maxx EC. And then for the turf and rocks, Maxxthor SG and then Maxxthor EC over the top.
