Booklice are a species of soft-bodied insect that has two pairs of membranous wings, though evolution has led to formation of wings being lost in most species.
As a result, most booklice are incapable of flight, instead feeding and living in and around damp areas. Booklice are typically brown in colour and measure 1mm in length, though larger species such as Lepinotus patruelis can grow up to 2mm in length.
A typical booklouse sports a long antennae which is threadlike with around 12-50 segments. They usually have compound eyes, albeit poorly developed, as well as biting mouthparts which enable them to feed.
Booklice (Psocids) are small, soft-bodied insects that thrive in damp, humid environments. They feed on mold, fungi, and organic matter found in books, wallpaper, and stored food products. While they don’t bite or spread disease, they can damage books, papers, and certain stored foods.
Signs of a booklice infestation include seeing tiny, pale insects crawling on books, wallpaper, or in damp areas such as basements or bathrooms. You may also notice damage to paper products or find them in food storage areas, where they feed on mold growing on grains or flour.
Booklice are attracted to areas with high humidity and moisture, especially where mold or fungi can grow. They are often found in damp basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and any area with poor ventilation or where paper and books are stored.
To prevent booklice, reduce moisture in your home or business by using dehumidifiers and improving ventilation. Regularly clean and dust areas where books, papers, or food are stored, and keep these areas dry. Storing books and papers in sealed containers and keeping food in airtight containers can also help.
If you find booklice, first reduce humidity levels in the affected area by using a dehumidifier or fan. Remove any moldy or damp materials, clean surfaces thoroughly, and consider disposing of infested books or papers. For severe infestations, professional pest control may be needed to treat the area effectively.
