Springtails are an Isopod like Saulbugs(Wood Louse, Rolly Polly). They eat fungi, mold, mildew, and decaying plant matter as well as your frogs waste. Usually not enough of the frog's waste will be eaten for it not to attract bacterial growth though. They will live in the substrate where it remains 100% humidity and venture out to feed. They may venture far up to eat the mold, but I'm not sure.

Edit; You can buy a Springtail Culture from JoshsFrogs.com

Above a just a couple of places that sell them, there are many others. Springtails (Collembola sp.) are soft-bodied insects that live in the soil and leaf litter of terrariums. They assist in completing the eco-system of your tank by aiding in the decomposition of the leaf litter, animal feces, and dead plant material. They also provide smaller frogs like PDFs with an additional food source.
