Been living in this house for 3 years, this is the first time I am noticing these really tiny brown/gray insects with whiskers (not baby roaches) that jump when I try to kill them. They are on my counters Sad I think they are springtails. Anyone has any ideas how to get rid of them? I would prefer not to use an exterminator in my kitchen.

I did some reading online, so I see that they eat mold and need moisture, that detergent, bleach, and vinegar kills them, so I'll see what I can do with that information, though I don't know how I can eliminate moisture from my kitchen.

I'm just wondering if anyone has some real-life experience to share about how they've licked these things?
