I wanted to bring my Pothos inside and checked the soil because it previously was infested and I saw the monsters were back to I checked one of my avocados and sure enough it’s infested too and I think all of my plants might be because they are all together I think they are spring tails but I’m not sure does anyone know what to do😭

If they’re spring tails, it should be a good thing. Spring tails are typically good for soil because they eat the decaying matter iirc

Springtails are totally harmless and can protect your plants from mold. They also need high humidity, so they won't survive very far away from your plants. They're usually welcome guests in terrariums

Thank you all I’ve figured out that is what they are and only treated my pothos as that is what I want to take in!
