My home is in the woods 600 feet from the road. Years ago, I discovered how spraying insecticide around the perimeter of my home (every week) in the warm months virtually eliminate all insect type pests. I am now using a product (spelling may be wrong) by Sprecticide called Triazide.

Everything was fine until a year or so ago. I now have unbeliveable numbers of springtails and millipedes. Thankfully, these pests have not made a venture into the main floor of my home; however, the basement and exterior are war zones.

When I use my liquid spray, qodzillions are killed; but, the population rebounds in a matter of a couple of days.

When I use the powder Sevin Dust, two million godzillions are killed, and they stay "gone" for longer than when I use the liquid spray; however, within 4-6 days they start to reapear.

Any suggestions?

Tempo SC Ultra made by Bayer. You will get a 6 wk residule mixed at the proper rate. Active ingrediant is Cyfluthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid. Should run about 50 bucks for the 8 oz.
