- My own shit, thanks to places like this!
One of my four buckets became way too infested for me to think of Springtails as a "beneficial." From what I understand a few are helpful.
My first course of action was to give them 1:3 mix of H2O2/Nutrients and that did knock them back.
However, yesterday I was draining the bottom of the SIP Bucket so that I could run some RO water through the coco. When I looked down at my catch bucket, as can see, they were back.

This time I did two pass-throughs with a light bleach mixture. I am on my last days of flowering with some cloudy already so I didn't care what else met its fate in my scorched earth method.
Yet, it seemed to work. As you can see there were thousands killed in the melee.
I just reacted out of instinct and didn't go to the books for the correct way of reducing the population (to zero I hope).
Is there a better way that you have tried?
