I had a book lice problem in one of my ant nests I'm pretty sure I got them all, are they a problem for tarantula enclosures?
I had some people tell me they are okay, but they get out of control quick.

Never heard of book lice becoming a problem for tarantula enclosures. What kind of ants do you keep?

I keep a few different species. Camponotus, Lasius, Crematogaster, Myrmica, Formica, altogether about 20 small and average sized colonies.
I still haven't seen them anywhere but the infested ant nest, which I have drying out.
