Phantom Termiticide Insecticide is extremely limited on where it can be used outside a structure, so window and door frame areas as you sprayed before would be the main treatment zones it is allowed to be used. Spraying the wood deck itself is not actually going to solve or help the springtail problem, as the nest is coming from below the soil around the home somewhere. The source needs to try to be found, or steps taken (if they aren't already) to reduce as much moisture around the home as possible. Springtails need excess moisture to thrive, so anything holding it to the soil such as mulch, pinestraw, rock, or concrete patios are areas they could be coming from. Many customers will take a termite treatment approach to rod or trench along the foundation or concrete areas in the soil and saturate it so the insecticide gets deeper in the ground where they are traveling. The Bifen LP granules and spray are some of the go to choices for springtails, and any that land on the treated surface will die from the chemical.
