I had excellent results using diatomaceous earth (a fine powder made from fossilized diatoms that slices the exoskeleton and dehydrates bugs) when I had a bedbug problem. I'm not sure if it would damage the books, but if it does, it'll cause less damage than the termites for sure. Worst case scenario it leaves a light residue.

Thanks! I’ll check that out. I’ve tried termiticide sprays in the past but to no avail. I will definitely try out the powdered types!
