This spring I've noticed a large number of tiny little jumping bugs in my garden. After researching, I'm pretty sure that they're springtails. From what I read, at first, I was relieved, as it said they generally only feed on decaying matter and help break down the soil, etc.

But I've now noticed them on the leaves of plants, particularly the squash seedlings, and little marks like something was eating tiny patches on the top of the leaves. And, doing more research, I read that the Garden Springtail (Bourletiella hortensis), which appears to be what they are, do sometimes eat live plant matter and can damage young seedlings.

Does anyone have experience with springtails as a pest in the garden? Or methods of control? I've been using Neem, and a garlic-cayenne mixture for aphid and other pest control.
