Itch Scratch Itch Scratch
I am sorry if these bug posts are driving you nuts but this is the HELL that is my life right now and keep in mind this is MY journal lol...
I am freaking out. I nearly had a nervous breakdown today... one thing after another. The job thing, then the new car breaks down, then TK gets in an accident, then I see the roach... now this with the bugs.
I figured out what they are. Springtails. I looked up all kinds of little pests online and finally came to the conclusion that this is what they are. Harmless - they will not bite me or eat anything... however, they multiply like crazy.
I have now realized they are coming in by the porch door in our room - and in the window sill in Kyla's room. Needless to say we are not staying here tonight.
They are TINY. Like little tiny specks, smaller than fleas... but there are a lot of them and my skin is crawling - it sucks.
Thank you to Post where I live for realllllly checking the place for mold, mildew, etc. after all the storms. NOT! That's how they ended up here... they grow in moldy moist places.
Sorry the dirt isn't updated... I spent my entire day trying to handle this problem and doing some shopping.
Now I have to pack to get the F out of this bug infested "luxury" apartment.

I know hardly anything about pests/bugs/insects - However, we have a lake house we go to many times a year - Springtails are much larger than what you are describing. They mostly live near a bright light source, and are attracted to that. They stay near water adn only live for a few hours - but, yes, multiply quickly. This is based on what our exterminator has told us at our lake house. Take it as you wish ... Good luck. Sounds extremely annoying...
Hey Dana. Here is a website I found that might be helpful. It has everything about springtails--how to get rid of them and keep them from coming back.
