BOOKLICE / PSOCIDS PEST CONTROL NAPLES FLORIDA

BOOKLICE / PSOCIDS 

                Booklice are very small insects found on books and
papers.   They are both winged and
wingless and less than a 1/8 of an inch, with chewing mouthparts.  There are more than a 100 species
collectively called psocids, including Booklice are a part. The term "lice" is
somewhat misleading because none of these insects are parasitic or have 8 legs.
 Most of the species are found inside
buildings.  The two most commonly found
are the common Booklouse and the Deathwatch. 
These are often found among books and papers.  They also can be found in stored grain, dried
foods, insect collections, furniture, beddings, warm moist areas, leaking water
pipes, air conditioning drain pans, windowsills, or damaged roofs. 

The
control of psocids is directly related to finding the source of the Booklice
and the source of the moisture that supports these insects. Infested furniture
and bedding or other movable furnishings should be thoroughly cleaned and
aired.  All infested foods should be
discarded.  All excess moisture areas
should be dried, repaired and aired to kill fungi. Insecticides can reduce the
population of Booklice for a short length of time.  To completely eliminate psocids you must find
the source of moisture supporting the molds and fungi that the Booklice feed on
and eliminate it.
