Hi Gary, I'm pretty sure the insects you are seeing are called collembola. They are nicknamed snow fleas because they often appear during the winter too. They are harmless - don't bite, etc. They are pretty soft bodied so you can wash them off with a hard stream of water from the hose. There isn't any insecticide labeled for them since they arent considered pests, so i can't tell you anything to spray. They usually leave in a few days. No need for an exterminator! Spend the money on something fun! Let me know if you have any other questions.
