Have you seen signs of larval activity, such as their silken cases in wool, felt, hair, or fur? Jeffrey K.

[pestlist] IPM policy research
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. --- Dear Pestlist: I am the Mellon Fellow in Costume and Textiles Conservation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and am currently assisting with the museum's pest monitoring and management programs. Eliza Spaulding, the Mellon Fellow in Paper Conservation, and I are researching different institutions' IPM policies. We hope to gather a number of policies, which we can then share with members of the PMA's Conservation Department as we work to create an IPM policy here. The IPM policies posted on museumpests.net have provided a great starting place for our research. While many pest concerns are common to all museums, we would be especially interested to read IPM policies from museums with fine art collections. If you are able to share your institution's policy with us, please email me at laura.m...@philamuseum.org Thank you for your consideration and best wishes for the new year.
