I seen on here somewhere about Spingtails keeping Formiacaiums free of mold. Where do I find or purchase them? And what exactly do they do?

You can find them in damp areas in the wild. They eat fungus.

You can buy them from roachcrossing.com, though you have to contact him through email because that is how he do business .

Okay great thanks. In the wild could I use a container filled with moldy food to attract them and trap them?

I find them also in sorta dry conditions locally. At least in Southern California, I often see springtails in dry areas, but still get some water. However, I had an empty container in a storage box with a little bit of dirt and some food, and there had been no water for literally over 7 months. I look in, and there were thousands of springtails all over in the storage box and in the container. Dunno where they got their water, and the garage is super hot and dry as well. But, you are in Canada, so I doubt they'd like conditions like that.

 

Still surprised me though. And they weren't mites either, since springtails are elongated, can jump and are much faster. Look totally different.
