Booklice or Psocids-Order Pscoptera

These are very small insects about 1-1.5mm long. The most common found psocid is (liposcellis bostrychophilus). It is brown-yellow in colour and wingless. Prefers warm but especially damp environments, for example, domestic kitchens as well as food premises. Generally found on flour, other cereal products and milk powder. Additionally, even small numbers of these insects can be considered unacceptable as food contamination occurs. Also a serious nuisance to the food industry, causing complaints to the Environmental Health Departments. By and large they do not normally occur in significant numbers,  unless ambient conditions allow mould and fungal development. In this case, where possible take away the damp conditions.
