These dumb bugs don't mess with my plants, but they are down in my basement. My problem is they are so small they can crawl under the window sil in my kitchen. What is a good spray to get rid of them where I can spray it on the outside wood part of my window?

Monterey Garden Insect Spray is safe inside. Go outside and Hit'em with the Hein!

I use a product on my grass and shrubs called cyonara and I barely see any bugs, spiders, etc. It's excellent... I just need something for springtails/dust mites. I can't get rid of them, they must be underground in the winter or have a nest.

Soil springtails arent meant to be killed as they are part of the soil but will dissapear if you dont keep everything so wet.

I have big love for springtails and are a regular in my tent

Cause they help break down organic material I would guess.
