Hello;

This little pest ( about 3mm long in it's mangled state) crawled out of a box 
that came into our reading room from an offsite storage location yesterday. The 
researcher helpfully 'captured' it for us.



Any ideas? Pics are 'front' and 'back' but the pest itself is slightly mangled 
at this point.  Thanks in advance. Katie

[pestlist] anoxic chamber questions

My colleagues at the Wisconsin Historical Society and I have been researching 
various anoxic or altered atmosphere options for treatment of pest infested 
collections in preparation for installation of such a system in a planned 
collections storage facility.

I've spoken with many people involved in all aspects of IPM over the past few 
months, and I'm grateful for their willingness to share their knowledge. At the 
moment, we are particularly interested in the EXPM6 nitrogen anoxia chamber 
system. I have heard that there is exactly one in use in North America: I'm 
hopeful I can get in touch with any institutions on this list who are employing 
that system.

Thank You,
Katie Mullen

One of the first finds from our newly minted IPM program. I think this is a 
click beetle and not a heritage eater, but confirmation or correction would 
be appreciated. The coin is the corner of the picture is a US Penny for scale.

Thank You,

RE: [pestlist] question about extent of application of Bora-Care

[Mullen, Kathleen D - WHS]

 or the base of columns where the wood has a higher moisture 
content and is more inviting. In Vermont, we find that such infestations travel 
very slowly, perhaps because they have been held in check by our cold winters. 
It would be prohibitively expensive to treat all or even many of the structural 
elements of the building as a preventive measure when there was evidence of 
active infestation in only limited portions of the structure.You can always 
apply Bora-Care in the future to additional areas if you detect a spreading 
infestation.

We are in the process of designing treatment for an infestation of wood borers 
in a large historic storage structure. We’re satisfied with all aspects of the 
proposed treatment (Bora-Care application) – however, the pest management 
company has proposed a widespread application, and we’re wondering if the 
application of Bora Care should be confined to just the area in which exit 
holes can currently be seen, or should it extend beyond that?
