Book Louse 'Em Danno
A tenant on the 2nd floor of an apartment bldg has what appears to be psocids in their kitchen - on the counter top, floor, under the sink. I treated once with Cy-Kick inside and Temprid on exterior foundation and windows. Ten days later I treated with Temprid inside. A week later they called the manager and still see them. Any suggestions?

Moisture Lovers Are Tenacious
I've seen an increase in the number of complaints about psocids & springtails this year. The resource materials that I have do not really address their control as well as the common pests. Several food plants that I service, along with numerous home owners, have had outbreaks of these pests.
