infested cupboards

[hmm]

Hi all,

I live in Norwich, UK
A few days ago I discovered some minute crawling insects in my dry food
cupboard. They crawl pretty fast, do not fly, are light brown in colour. I
have managed to get the macro settings on my camera correct so have a few
reasonable photos attached.

I think they look like psocids. Cant seem to find any mould etc around.

I would like to use a food safe insecticide as well as dilute bleach
solution. Any ideas on the best insecticide to use??

Many thanks

Neil

The photos did not come through. They won't since this is not
a binaries group. You need to find somewhere to post them, like
a Picasa account, and then give us the URL to the photos.

When I was in Germany I bought some rice that sat in the cupboard
a long time. Before I could use it I found small brown insects all
over the place. I traced them back to the uncooked rice.

Could that be it?

Do a google image search for "rice bugs."
