Springtails are small, wingless insect that is commonly found in cold climates, on the surface of snow. It is a type of springtail insect that feeds on algae, fungi, and other organic matter. Snow fleas do not bite humans or pets and are not considered to be a significant pest. To control their population, reduce excess moisture in the area, apply pest control products, keep the area clean, and encourage natural predators. Snow fleas are called snow fleas because they are often found on snow and can jump great distances. They are not actually fleas, but rather a type of springtail.
