Ways to Get Rid of
Booklice
Though their name may suggest otherwise, these
pests do not attack books. Nor are they lice.
Booklice or psocids are tiny, wingless insects
resembling lice that feed on mildew and mold
within homes.
They thrive in areas of your home that are high
in moisture level for instance kitchens,
bathrooms, and basements since their food source
is most likely to grow in these areas.

pests, simply improve ventilation. Open doors and

areas that where good ventilation is present.
