OK - so two days ago I notice some springtails (collembola) in my sink - tried

to not freak out so called our PCO - they treated yesterday. Today I killed 7

in the sink, 6 in the shower and 10 in our kitchen. They are large enough to

see and under the scope it is totally clear what they are. We are moving in 4

weeks. What do I do at this point? I can call the PCO back and have them over

again since I collected the samples on tape but obviously what they are using

isn't working. For me I know the mites came first and then the springtails

invaded. Not sure how we got rid of them during the winter months - maybe we

didn't but now their numbers are multiplying since I am finding them in numbers

the house again. We used the Cedarcide fogger this am after I had a good

cry....I don't currently have any bites but I am on anti-biotics and an

anti-fungal....but I know it's a matter of time. I know the jury is out on

whether or not they can bite but I believe they can 100% and that they

particularly like the scalp/hair. This is hell. I don't want to bring them with

us when move. Please please someone tell me how to kill them over the next few

weeks. I've got Orange Guard and that seems to work on the floors short term

but obviously it isn't enough given the rapid increase over the last 48 hrs.
