Unfortunately the museum world is not the primary audience for pheremone developement. It would be great if there was a general pheremone for the large number of dermestid species out there!

Perhaps the cost would be prohibitive, but if Colin is interested in pursuing it, I so go for it. Rick Richard L.

What you describe is what you say it is; A blunder trap. There is no doubt that the advances is pheromone technology has enabled the development very effective and accurate monitors, capable of detecting very small or new infestations. Blunder traps simply demonstrate how severe an infestation has become. For insects and even mice to be caught this way indicates severe infestations. Not something of much use when you consider many museums following good IPM protocols regard one moth as a serious infestation! I’m not ‘re-inventing the wheel’ but rather trying to develop something which may bring us into the 21st century. A trap with a number of pheromone lures which will attract insects even if there are very few around; at a fair and reasonable price. I can well understand museums using ineffective blunder traps, particularly when we all have to control costs. What I am trying to develop and offer is something in a similar price range which actually works!

Even flying insects end up in these "blunder" traps. Not only can you determine the kinds of insects getting caught (indoor or outdoor), you can often determine from which direction they're coming. As an added bonus, mice can be caught on the larger ones. And they're cheap! Let's not reinvent the wheel.

I suggested that they post on the pest list as well. If they don't, those of you who are interested should go on to the LinkedIn site to put in your two cents. Barbara Appelbaum This is the posting: Monitoring Dear all, I am considering the development of a multi functional insect trap / monitor which will trap the most common insects in one simple unit.
