So I got your lemon air treatment for my sink and started using it last week. I’ve done 3 treatments in one week. I also followed your advice of sealing up the drain when letting it sit overnight. Well turns out they are coming into the sink from somewhere above, not from the drain 🙁 I found like 7 swimming around in the water this morning. Now what do I do? Are they in the cabinet under the sink? I looked above and my kitchen window hasn’t been opened since it got hot so maybe there in there?
Springtails can thrive in a sink drain and so its good that you’ve been treating with LEMON AIR. But its highly likely they’re migrating there because they sense the moist, humid air coming up from the drain. And once they get there, the drain will become home so keep treating for now. But if they are appearing in the sink water the next morning after its been sealed overnight? That’s a sure sign they are nesting within 2-3 feet of the sink ABOVE the drain.
As for that window you mentioned? That would be our first guess for where some nests could be. Most any window that opens/closes will be a prime nest sight for sure. We suggest you open it up and wipe down the window runners with the mixed up Lemon Air, same strength as you pour down the drain. It won’t last but 5-10 minutes out in the open so not as strong as our Bithor BUT it will kill them.
You can also wipe down the countertop, splash back wall if you have one and definitely around the sink, where it sits in the counter. With any luck, the Lemon Air used in these areas will knock out any pocket nests but if you keep finding them like this, you’ll need to get the BITHOR and do some more tedious treatments to reach their inside nests. This is where our MINI-MISTER and/or POWER INJECTOR can really help.
