There have been reports of inhalant allergies affecting people due to large mass adult emergences. Over a few years there have been a different kind of fly (a chaoborid midge) that had mass emergences off 5th Avenue near the Met Guggenheim museums. Many people in certain affected apartments also experienced inhalant problems when these adults flies were all over their windows/screens. Chaoborid larvae are aquatic and feed on certain mosquito larvae. It's possible that the midges were breeding in street rain drains where certain mosquitoes (possibly Culex pipiens molestus) also breed.

[pestlist] RE: Anobium traps/lures
This is a message from the Museumpests List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Daniel, The company Agrisense in the UK had a lure that was effective for Anobium punctatum back in the 1990's. The picture on the Australian website appears to be an Agrisense trap. Sometime in the early 2000's the lab doing this synthesis work for Agrisense discontinued synthesizing this pheromone and thus Agrisense discontinued selling the lures. I have not heard that they overcame this problem. Insects Limited has attempted to synthesize this compound unsuccessfully. It is an extremely difficult pheromone to synthesize and my guess is that is the reason that the Agrisense lab quit making it in the first place. I would be interested to see if the company in the Australian website can actually supply this product. If so, I would like to hear how it is working for anyone using it. If there is a pheromone that has sound chemistry that has been field tested product being offered here, Insects Limited would be more than happy to carry it for the US market. I tend to be a little skeptical after more than a decade with only a few products being offered that have basically no attraction to Anobium. In the mean time, Dr. Uwe Nolt of the Johann Heinrich von Thunen- Institute (vTI)in Germany has done lots of great work with Anobium by monitoring with light traps and paper coverings on focused areas of wooden structures and wooden collections.
