The Cleaning Crew – springtails 250 ml

This product suits keepers who want to reduce organic debris accumulating in an enclosure without removing every piece of waste by hand. The springtails live in the substrate and feed on dead matter, leftover food and decaying plant fragments, so they work as a background cleanup crew between feedings and cleanings.

Why it matters

• Organic breakdown: springtails consume dead remains and decaying plant parts, which reduces the amount of waste left in the substrate.
• Less mould-friendly conditions: removing accumulated organic matter takes away material that mould would otherwise use to develop.
• Performance in damp substrate: the species is particularly useful in enclosures with elevated humidity, including bioactive terrariums.
• Dual use: the same culture acts as a cleanup crew and as live food for young amphibians, tree frogs and small lizards.

What it works with

The product fits enclosures for tarantulas, small lizards, geckos and amphibians, where springtails can live in the substrate independently of the main occupants. It can also be used in potted plant cultivation in damp substrate, for example monstera, philodendron, orchids and strelitzia.
