Re: Book lice problem in hamsters cage. Any help?
They are not weevils. I am a gardener and fight with them during all life cycles. What you have are book lice, tinier than a grain of sand.
There is no need for insecticides. Just a mild bleach solution and a good nozzle hoover totget numbers down. Keep check on room humidity and open windows.
They aren't harmful and a very common house pest.
They aren't an indication of a dirty house and can get via many ways. Read about their life cycle...they moult 4 stages that look the same why some are darker and some translucent.
Dried hammy food and substrate mimics a natural environment for them so that is why they are attracted.
A good month of wiping down, hoovering and airing should beat them back x
