A stockroom, a shop cellar or a cupboard of old records can quietly grow booklice, and Wetherby's older town-centre buildings are well suited to it.
Consider a small shop or office in an older Wetherby building. Stock arrives in cardboard, paperwork is archived in boxes, and the back room has a single window and poor airflow. If a gutter or a pipe leaks nearby, the cardboard soon turns damp and mould follows, bringing booklice with it. They are not a danger to staff or customers, but they can contaminate stock and quickly worry the people who find them.
At home the picture is gentler but similar. Older properties near the town centre and the later housing on the edges can both have a damp cupboard or bathroom. We inspect the premises, confirm the insect, treat affected rooms and suggest how to arrange storage so air can move. Commercial service contracts are available for businesses wanting regular checks, and a free survey is offered for homes and businesses.
They can be a concern anywhere food or packaging is stored, because they may contaminate dry goods and signal damp conditions. Food premises should keep records of any pest activity. We can inspect, treat and document what we find, and discuss a regular service plan if needed.
We will try to fit visits around the quiet times of a business, where the work allows. Tell us your trading hours when you call on 0113 347 0014, and we will arrange the least disruptive time for the work.
