Re:[Strawbale] Re: insects... (Rikki Nitzkin

Hello Lieve,
These insects live on fungus created on the straw when the straw is humid. If they stayed for a long time or came back, it is probably a sign that a high level of humidity was present/came back in the bales. Probably 'Not a good thing'...

Rikki, there is a thread called Psocids infestation in the August 2004 archives. I remember I sent another email at a later date, but can't remember when that was. 
It took 3 years for the bugs to disappear completely in my house.
I remember they had a clear preference for the white ceilings and every September their number decreased spontaneously. 
Hope this info helps.
Regards, Lieve.

I seem to remeber that at some time people have mentioned having
problems with these tiny bugs that sometimes appear in the straw (due
to the humidity? latent eggs?)...but I can't seem to find the thread/
archives about it...can someone give me a hint as to what to search
for in the archives? A woman here in spain is having a problem and
needs help with the solution...

thanks,
