: They're small (flea-like), hop, and may be hard to kill. Look outside around the house right next to the foundation. If you see them there, that's your source. You'll need to call a professional exterminator and ask him to use Orthene. It's one of the only chemicles that will control these buggers.

Help. I've got these 'springtails' all in my kitchen, and 2 bathrooms... they're starting to spread around the house... they're exactly as you describe, and I've had the exterminator at the house 3 weeks ago now... they're worse since then. Was told they're harmless, but are they parasitic to humans?? Do they leave behind any types of diseases?
