Prevent Booklice Infestations on Your Premises
Booklice feed on materials of either plant or animal origin. Such materials can range from food to leather and even books. In fact, booklice will feed on the microscopic moulds that grow on the glue of book-bindings which, in turn, weakens the books and makes them more liable to fall apart. They also feed on damp food and can often be found in new properties where the plaster hasn’t yet dried.
Their tendency to infest food manufacturing facilities and warehouses in particular, makes them a nuisance that should be taken care of quickly. One of the major issues associated with a booklice infestation is food contamination. Any contaminated raw or processed foods need to be identified and destroyed, a process which is incredibly time-consuming and wasteful.
In the case of retailers, produce that has been infested with booklice has to be removed and destroyed as soon as the infestation is discovered. If a customer makes the discovery, this will likely result in a loss of reputation.
