"If your home has high humidity levels, you might be hosting a family of booklice without even realising it. These tiny insects thrive in warm, damp conditions, feeding on mould and mildew that commonly form on cardboard, wallpaper and books. The fastest way to tackle the problem is by investing in one of the best dehumidifiers, which remove excess moisture from the air and help prevent further mould, dampness and condensation from forming."
"You can do this by using a dehumidifier and fixing any leaks, as well as checking your kitchen and bathroom extractor fans are working properly. Make sure your home has sufficient airflow by keeping furniture slightly away from your walls and opening windows - this will prevent moisture from building up and mould from forming (which booklice love to feed on)."
Booklice thrive in warm, damp conditions and feed on mould and mildew that form on cardboard, wallpaper and books. Reducing indoor humidity prevents their food source and limits infestations. Use a dehumidifier, fix leaks, and ensure kitchen and bathroom extractor fans work properly. Improve airflow by keeping furniture slightly away from walls and opening windows. Monitor humidity with a hygrometer to maintain normal levels. Wipe down affected areas thoroughly with a mild cleaning solution to remove mould and eggs. Maintaining dry, well-ventilated spaces and prompt cleaning prevents recurrence and protects stored paper items.
