Book Lice a.k.a. Psocids
What is a psocid you ask, well they are also called book lice or barklice and although they are not truly lice, they live in warm, moist places. They feed on mold or fungi and grains, insects, and starches like book binding glue. They are found in humid and poorly ventilated areas in homes and are attracted to damp cardboard boxes, books, papers, molded wood and leaking sinks. They don’t harm us or our pets and do not bite, they are just a nuisance and large populations usually indicate a moisture problem in the house. If they are spotted in the pantries it is means there is spoiled food around. Psocids don’t retain water in their bodies well so the first step in controlling psocids is reducing the humidity in the area they live.
