These insects have very little to no contact with humans, therefore they are of little economic importance.
They do not bite humans.
Booklice are often mistaken for bedbug nymphs and vice versa. Booklouse eggs take 2 to 4 weeks to hatch and can reach adulthood approximately 2 months later.
Adult booklice can live for six months. Besides damaging books, they also sometimes infest food storage areas, like old wooden shelving where they can feed on dry, starchy materials.
