Tiny mite-size creature in bathroom

SICKLERVILLE, NJ

Noticed 2 of these in one of my bathrooms. One in the bathtub and one running along the grout of the bathroom tile, I'm assuming to find a crack to slip through. My kids are always leaving the floor soaking wet after showers but I'm constantly behind then drying the floor. PLZ help identify so i can find an effective remedy to get rid of them. If it helps I live in South Jersey.

It's a springtail, a primitive arthropod in the order Collembola. Basically harmless nuisance pests, they are best controlled through moisture management. as they are very susceptible to desiccation...
