Booklice - Introduction
Psocids (booklice) are small, common but harmless household pests, found in dark, warm, humid places such as the folds of packaging in food cupboards, where they feed on microscopic moulds and mildews that flourish in such locations. They do not carry germs or disease.
The life cycle of psocids (booklice) is one that results in prolific numbers of the pest, but prevention is relatively simple and should avoid having to take any costly and time consuming control measures.
