for the tank i wanted to flood the soil
I guess it might be better to restart the whole process.Things that kill the beetles are also going to kill the springtails. Your best bet is to remove some springtails and put them in a deli pot of fresh substrate. Then once the treatment or substrate changes are done, you add them back.
The easiest way to make sure you're only removing springtails is to add a water dish to the enclosure. Springtails will jump into it and you can just pour them off into the new deli pot. If you end up with some beetles in the water, use a teaspoon and scoop out the springtails instead of pouring them.
