Hi,

this could be a pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis).

Destroy the nests. You could try to low the room temperature to 10C to 15C degrees. Keep any food away from them!

Maybe this could help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV4F8L2VVFg

Booklice - basically harmless nuisance pests - lowering humidity helps control them - http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/booklice
