Hi Everybody, I was wondering if any of you check your HVAC filters for pests. 
The idea has come up - when our pest control vendor mentioned that insects can 
travel through HVAC systems and get from one part of the museum to another. 
Does checking the filters give us a random sample of what might be around the 
museum? Or is it overkill to look at these? Have any of you actually done this? 
Our facilities staff gave me a used filter to look at today and it is pretty 
large, I couldn't really think of a practical way to check them for insects 
without having it take up a lot of my time. 
best,
