Janice.. I had problems with springtails... there was nothing in my house attracting them except me... They bit me and my husband and pet felt nothing.
They are attracted to any fungal growth that you may have on the skin... Be careful with the pesticides.. they can make you sicker. Even if you clear your home once.. you can pick them up again on the outside and bring them in.
I used an ozone generator to clear my home of the fungal spores that were coming off my body... I focused mostly on myself in terms of treatments.. the barley treatment outlined on this forum helped me the most. I used it many times until all the stinging and biting and crawling stopped. I also took lots of baths (epsom salts, salt, vinegar, enzymes, borax, ESP bath soak, etc). Eventually, the bugs left as there was no more food source for them.
I love the ESP bath soak... it kills lots of things in the skin...including fungus and bugs. |
