Looks like a springtail (primitive arthropods in the order Collembola) - basically harmless nuisance pests...

Thank you sir or madame,
Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this pest?

Basically through moisture management - they are very susceptible to desiccation. See http://ucipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74136.html for more detailed information.
