Routine fumigation is the only way. I get my house fumigated every 4 months.

Years ago when I was 17 I loaned a girl a copy of On the Road with a big BBQ sauce stain near the part where he's fucking that Mexican girl
The girl I loaned it to never fucked me so I guess clean your books

I like the freezer method but since I have one, I prefer to use an ozone generator.
A short article on the technique

I inherited some books that had mold spots on the tops so i took a sander and sanded the mold away

At this point my freezer is too small and the booklice is manageable so I don't care, it's not like the damage the books or anything. I pick the fuckers up gently with a sticky note when I see them so they don't stain the book. I would have freezed all my new (old) books from the beginning if I knew what booklice were, it is what it is.

>when you have two full large freezers and one full tiny freezer
Book freezing is going to be difficult
