Anyone know what kind of bug this is? I\'ve been searching online for weeks and the one thing I was thinking is a springtail. They\'re grayish, soft bodied and can jump, but not fly. The picture shows the largest one I\'ve seen. It\'s been hot and sunny for over a month here and they appear to be along my porch and siding outside; inside they\'re practically everywhere (bathrooms, kitchen, Windows). I\'ve used sevin outside along the house and ortho home defense that\'s safe for children and pets inside several times... I just can\'t seem to get rid of them. Any advice? Figured I\'d try this before calling a professional for help. Thanks!
