On your countries Amazon search up “hypoaspis miles” and it may pull something up. Some species of Camponotus will eat springtails(My species does)

Is it really that bad to have over population of springtails? One way to reduce them is to add something like a big chunk of fruit and wait for springtails to swarm it and then remove the fruit

Not bad until springtails can’t find food and start dying in mass numbers.
