Here you can see the springtails crossing nearby during the last molt from last week. They won't disturb the T at all, and regarding the isopods, they stay away from the T or any webed zone. I have 4 isopods species, Porcelilo Laevis, Porcellio pruinosus, normal and oranges and tropical dwarf isopods Trichorhina tormentosa. I'd use the last ones if you only want one single specie, since they are pretty hardy and they thrive very well in topsoil.Do you know how isopods and springtails don't disturb the tarantula during molt? As far as I know everything literally stresses tarantulas when they're near by the tarantula that's why never felt comfortable with adding them in enclosure. If worker sold me topsoil after telling what I exactly want how can I know if it's exactly what I want or if it still might have chemicals?

To check the topsoil, the best thing is to read the ingredients. You can explain them that there is for a vivarium and that some chemicals will kill your Ts, to prevent any unwanted topsoil offer. You can also make a test with a cricket.
