There seems to have been an explosion of those little bugs that you get in books etc, I have quite a lot of paperwork that i need to keep and these little critters are all over it.:o Is there anything that will kill them off or repel them? thanks!

They are called pscocids or booklice. They appear when your house isdamp. We had them and we had to buy a de-humidifier to get rid of them...sort the damp problem and they will dissappear.
