What Are Booklice?
Booklice, also known as psocids, are tiny insects that thrive in humid environments where mould or fungal growth is present. They are commonly mistaken for baby cockroaches but do not bite humans or pets. While not dangerous, booklice can damage books, documents and packaging, and their presence usually indicates excess moisture.

Booklice Control in Singapore offered by PESTOPIA
Booklice — also known as psocids — are tiny insects common in humid tropical climates like Singapore due to the high moisture levels year-round. Although they don’t bite, spread disease, or directly damage structures, they can contaminate food, feed on mould and damp organic materials, and cause stress for homeowners and businesses alike. Their presence often indicates moisture or mould problems in buildings, which makes professional intervention worthwhile. Understanding Booklice and Why They’re a Problem Booklice thrive in moist, warm areas where mould and fungi grow — such as bathrooms, kitchens, cupboards, libraries, and storerooms. They feed on microscopic fungi, starch-based materials, and decaying organic matter, meaning damp conditions and poor ventilation are ideal for their reproduction. While they don’t pose significant health risks like disease transmission, heavy infestations can cause allergic reactions and contaminate stored foods. Singapore’s climate — hot and humid throughout the year — naturally supports booklice infestations unless humidity is managed. Professional treatment is often the most efficient way to eliminate them quickly and prevent reinfestation.
Pestopia offers specialised booklice control services for both residential and commercial properties in Singapore. Their approach focuses on targeted, effective elimination of booklice and addressing underlying causes to reduce the chances of a comeback.
1. Inspection and Assessment
Pestopia’s trained technicians begin with a thorough site inspection to identify infestation hotspots and assess moisture sources that promote booklice activity.
2. Professional Treatment Methods
While specific techniques may vary based on the situation, Pestopia uses NEA-approved products and methods tailored to eradicate booklice safely and effectively. This typically includes professional sprays, targeted applications in problem areas, and treatments designed to remain effective over time.
3. Environment Management
Beyond killing existing insects, Pestopia emphasises correcting environmental factors such as moisture and mould that attract booklice. Proper control not only removes current pests but also reduces the likelihood of future infestations.
Prevention Tips (General Advice)
In addition to professional services, homeowners can help by reducing indoor humidity (ideally below 50–60%), ventilating spaces, using dehumidifiers, storing food and paper items in dry, sealed containers, and removing mould sources promptly.
