Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol is not labeled for psocid (booklice), only lice in general. The product does talk about wall applications but not in reference to lice. If you were planning on using DE, it would need to be used in areas where you do not use this product as you cannot overlap products
The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive.
