Booklice are tiny insects, not true lice, usually found around old books and paper products in the home. Booklice prefer warm environments with plenty of moisture (moisture content level of at least 15%) and humidity found in kitchens, bathrooms, crawl spaces and attics. Some booklice like stored grains and will infest your pantry and cupboards as they are also attracted to cereals, grains, starch-filled paste and mould contained within the paper-based items. Although harmless, left unchecked, they can have thousands of offspring that can became quite unsightly and contaminate food with their dead bodies and excrement. Preventing an infestation of booklice means removing the moisture that creates mould on which the pests subsist. This can be as easy as using dehumidifiers or fans in bathrooms and attics. Books and papers should be kept off the floor and stored in dry places.
