Springtails indicate that there is a moisture issue because they breed in walls or under slabs where a moisture issue may exist.  Typically, pesticides alone will not take care of a springtail problem.  It is required to fix whatever moisture issue is causing the problem.  While Transport Mikron will help to kill the springtails that contact a treated surface until the moisture issue is addressed they could always be an issue.  Martin's IGR is not actually labeled for springtails so we cannot recommend it for them.  There is no known IGR labeled for springtails.

The Gentrol is designed to be mixed with Transport, as well as all other insecticides without taking away from the effectiveness. You can always spray them separate if needed but mixing the two together will create a one step combo that will do wonders on an insect population.

This product cannot be broadcasted over carpeted areas, rugs, floors etc which would be required for effective flea treatments.

We would recommend using the Indoor Flea Kit that contains PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Insectiide and Cimexa Dust if treating for active fleas indoors.  

A liquid insecticide concentrate if preferred for broadcast applications indoors for fleas would be Onslaught Insecticide.however an insect growth regulaor such as NyGuard IGR would need to be added to the tank mix to help stop the growth cycle of immature flea eggs once they hatch.

This product alone is not going to eliminate active bed bugs and should be used in combination with a contact kill aerosol such as Bedlam Plus and Cimexa Dust to treat all the necesary cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide.
