I agree with Lou about not including it on the chapter - or rather how to include it. Chemical pesticides have to be registered for use in public buildings, both local and federal. At least in the US. Also sole reliance on pesticides carries dangers- we stop monitoring and observing.

RE: [pestlist] vapona
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. --- Barbara It would be good to have a short section in your book about health and safety in relation to chemicals used in collections. It could refer to variations in international standards and online availability of Material Data Safety Sheets (http://www.msds.com/) for all compounds which would allow users to make themselves aware of what they are using, or encountering in old collections, regardless of in which country they are based. The SPNHC volume on Health Safety for Museum Professionals is a good point to which your readers could be directed. In Ireland (and much of Europe which follows standards set centrally in Brussels by the EU) it is an obligation on suppliers of bulk chemicals to make MSDS available to purchasers, this does not extend to packaging of products such as Vapona however (which is banned here but can still be found at the back of old hardware stores) but if you know the active ingredient you can check the MSDS.

A product not to be used. It is also a nerve toxin. Basically bad stuff. Moths, dermestids, other museum pests can all be dealt with though basic IPM methods. Pesticides, if used at all, should not be used on or near objects. Crevice treatments maybe, especially in old buildings. Good housekeeping, thermal, anoxic are the preferred treatment.
