The smallest I've used them with is around 1" (E. cyanognathus and H. gigas), small slings don't really make enough mess to justify using them though.

I know people who use them with any tarantula that wants moisture, even tiny slings. They won't harm your sling.

What kind of tarantulas do you have? Springtails will only survive in humid environments. This is why they are only useful and added to moisture loving tarantula tanks. I have them in with my T stirmi, H gigas, pamph sp Goliath and A seemanni tanks. Nothing else that I own would have an environment that would support springtails.
