I've just discovered lots of tiny, tiny bugs in a backroom. They are all over a big book shelf, kids art stuff and toys. It's a room I haven't been in for ages. I had an operation and have been recovering. It's a ages since room has been cleaned properly. What can I do?! The place looks like there are probably hundreds, maybe more of these minute creatures. I've just killed 10. They don't fly. I would just throw everything out and bleach everywhere but I don't want to lose all my books. There's lots of paperwork/ books that I don't want to lose if possible. Any suggestions?! I'm desperate to get rid of them as fast as possible and hopefully stop them spreading round the house. I've not seen them anywhere else- all other rooms are cleaned every week. Thanks!

Please help - we have booklice that we think is coming from a flat roof that has a lantern window in it. This has not been fitted correctly and we think damp has been getting in. We’ve now sealed this all up so don’t believe water getting in. We’ve hired a dehumidifier for a week now but we think the bugs are getting worse rather than better or does anyone know if this is the way they go before they clear up.
Any advice or information would be very much appreciated. It’s horrific to be living like this. Think we’ve collected about 200 in the last few hours.
