Booklice Control
Booklice Control in Singapore
Have you ever encountered minuscule black dots on the wall thinking they are dirt only for them to start moving? These are common types of pests called booklice (or bark lice) frequently found in homes or offices. Unlike what their name suggests, booklice do not feed on paper or books. Booklice are attracted to and thrive in environments with high moisture. They may be found in places with mildew, mould and fungi as these are their primary sources of food.
As with any pest infestations, a booklice infestation may cause distress and anguish. The professional team at Bingo Pest can eradicate booklice on your property. Not only does our booklice control treatment aim to get rid of booklice in your home or office, but we are also ready to provide you with advice to prevent booklice from recurring. Call us at 6517 9989 to discuss your requirements with us.
Booklice require moisture to survive. Areas with high humidity are potential breeding grounds for booklice. It might be difficult to spot a booklice infestation, but here are some telltale signs that you should look out for:
​
-
Tiny black dots moving on the wall
-
Presence of mildew, mould and fungi
-
Sticky eggs laid alone or in a cluster

How often should we disinfect a place?Regular cleaning helps to reduce pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungi on commonly-shared surfaces. This helps to reduce the risk of transmission from surfaces including keyboards, door knobs and switches. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out cleaning daily to get rid of contaminants that may land on the surfaces. Besides cleaning, you may consider a professional sanitisation and disinfection misting treatment to thoroughly cleanse your property. This may be done as one-off service or regularly based on your needs.

How do i disinfect a house with COVID-19 exposure?Household bleach and alcohol (70% to 90%) can be used for surface disinfection. You should first wipe down the surfaces with water and detergent to remove any traces of dirt before carrying out the disinfection. In addition to surface disinfection, a professionally-conducted disinfection misting service can help to get rid of viruses lingering in the air. This treatment is suitable to be carried out not only for residential homes but also ideal for businesses with COVID-19 exposure.
