Hi all,

One of our volunteers brought this into the museum last week while I was out, 
and said she found it in her couch. Unfortunately, I've only seen the photos, 
as she took it back home since I wasn't here. It does kind of look like a bed 
bug, but seems to lack the point at the end of the abdomen and she said she 
didn't see the distinctive horizontal sectioning you see with bed bugs. Any 
thoughts? I'm curious in case it is a bed bug, but also if it's a pest that 
just looks a lot like one. Apologies that the pictures aren't better.

Thank you!
Robyn

Too bad there isn't a clearer picture of the size of the close-up shot. It 
might be a true bug (something like an aradid), but not a bed bug.  A focused, 
more macro shot would help. Ventral view, too.

Hi Sharlane


Talk about serendipity. I had just set the attached to a museum person who had 
requested it last week. Went to check my aol account and found your email. So 
here's my version for your files. It is based on more than 15 years of 
experience with bed bugs in non-museum environments.


Cheers,
George

They (bedbugs) can be present in upholstered chairs, as they have been in our

Britta -
 
Bed bugs must suck blood in order to grow and produce eggs.  Obviously in a 
museum setting, bed bugs won't have an opportunity to suck blood from a host.  
There may be a random bed bug dropped by some visitor.  It would be nothing to 
get excited about.  Good housekeeping and vacuuming should do the trick.
 
However, an employee locker room may have more than a couple of bed bugs if 
some employee's home is infested.  They may repeatedly bring in bed bugs to the 
locker room.  This may require some sensitive investigative work to identify 
the source.  It may also require a professional pest management firm to treat 
the entire locker room and all the lockers.  If the source is not identified, 
the locker room will once again become infested.
 
The final situation is a cloak room for visitors.  Here too a random bed bug 
may ride in on someone's coat.  Except for the bad publicity, if were noticed 
by a visitor, this incident will not result in an infestation.
 
I know of no official policy of an institution for referral.  Sorry.

I recently started a position in Chicago, a city that has a history of bed bug 
infestations (as many large cities do). As the IPM coordinator at my museum, 
I’m wondering if others have developed any policies/procedures to limit 
potential infestations, to monitor bed bugs specifically, and to respond to 
identified infestations. I’ve already learned quite a bit about identifying 
them in the museum environment, so I’m hoping to gain knowledge about what to 
do if one is found. Feel free to respond to me off-list.
 
Many thanks,
Britta
