RE: [pestlist] pests in HVAC filters
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. --- Hi Derya, We have been advised to do this, and find it a bit daunting, as well. The compelling particulars included finding adult powder-post type critters, who fly away as they emerge . Given a large collection of architectural fragments inspection is nearly impossible to find new-looking holes. We are skeptical that the adults would come across a stumble trap. I don't think Ryan has found a lot of time to do this and our filter-changing schedule covers dozens of sites - and is managed by a team that doesn't have a simple or direct way of telling us that dirty filters are ready to look at and then get hauled to the dumpster - clearly we don't have a place to leave them sitting around. I would love to get an entomologist's thoughts on this.

To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Hi Derya, Like Patty I am a little daunted at the prospect of checking all of our filters (big complicated building). At a previous institution I worked we did check the bottom of the outside air intakes – this only showed what was being drawn into the stack (and building). We discussed putting screens on the intakes, but I am not sure that happened. It might have constricted the air flow – the discussion took place 10 years ago, so I am a little vague on the results. If your filters are in place and your HVAC is in good shape (no unanticipated holes in the ducts) the filters should be blocking egress. If the filters are changed on a schedule then there should be little organic matter to become the source of an infestation. Our main problem is with electrical and plumbing traces. This is an old building, with a lot of unidentified conduits to be used as insect and rodent highways throughout. There are also plenty of holes in the building. Using a proactive pest management company has made a significant difference in our insect levels. One of the things that the technician does is identify hotspots and breeding grounds such as standing water at the bottom of elevator shafts or in the attics. By addressing these issues and keeping in close contact with our Facilities staff on the repairs to the building has made a huge difference in reduction of pests and in understanding why the pests are present. I sent this discussion to our entomologist and will post his reply.

I know that they can't jump, but can run quickly. I don't have information on their climbing ability. We were getting recurring infestations in a storage area away from any moisture sources, so my theory was that they were coming up pipe chases from the sub-sub-level utility level below storage.

[pestlist] Insect Pest Mapping

To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any information on Insect Pest Trap mapping through a Collection Management database. This is something that we are interested in embarking on this year - well at least scoping the opportunity. We would also like to incorporate the Environmental data we collect so that can make predictions and also have data easily and readily available to support our Integrated Pest Management Plan. I was at a conference about 3 years ago and this was presented and its use within KEMu but we dont use this collection management system.
