It is the model number 100-1, Catchmaster Insect Trap and Monitor. As it comes from the factory, the full gluebord, laid out flat, measures 7 1/2 x 8 and is perforated to be divided into 3 smaller traps. The smaller traps are to be folded into a tent and can be placed along the floorline or can be placed or hung in the collections. When a small one is folded, it measures 2 1/2 long x 2 1/2 deep x 1 1/2 tall. There is an opening in it, which serves as a viewing port. These are very handy for fabric and clothing collections.

They also do not need to be as big as some currently available. This is why I am looking at developing a small, discreet little detector with a small glue area, which you can place in tight places. It only needs to catch a few insects. The monitors will be used to; alert a problem, identify the pest or pests and indicate the direction where they may have come from. When it comes to actual methods of control, if the infestation was throughout the building I would advocate placing all infected and delicate items into ZerO2 FlexiCubes and undertake an anoxic treatment. Whilst that was in progress and the collection was safely cocooned I would use the time to deep clean the building and toughly spray with a residual insecticide. At the end of the exposure time, the FlexiCubes can be opened and the collection returned to display. And then a full IPM program should be instigated. Colin Smith Conservation Ltd.

I agree with Tom - blunder traps are very effective in identifying the species that are present in a museum - both pest and non pest species. They are also an inexpesive way to start determining population density and distribution. These are the first steps that need to be taken with IPM. Pheremone traps, when used properly, are good for focusing in on specific pests. Pheremones target specific species and not all museum pests have had their pheremones specifically distilled. We are not the primary market. In addition, pheremones attract only the male of the species. Blunder traps and pheremone traps are useful tools for monitoring pests only. Not for eliminating pests.

Blunder traps simply demonstrate how severe an infestation has become. For insects and even mice to be caught this way indicates severe infestations. Not something of much use when you consider many museums following good IPM protocols regard one moth as a serious infestation! I’m not ‘re-inventing the wheel’ but rather trying to develop something which may bring us into the 21st century. A trap with a number of pheromone

I'm not sure how it's implemented but I'm thinking that it's not under control of the person it's getting sent from. The reason I think this is because one person from nps.gov sent me something asking if we could get rid of them - the amusing part is they probably don't know that their email also generates the return. Just so you all know, we monitor the list and when we see these we try to institute a rule in the email system that will block these types of emails, as well as any spam that may get through. It does sometimes take a few turn arounds to get it correct. leon ... p.s. the other reason I'm sending this is to see if the new rule works. p.s.s - I think it works, I sent this the first time and didn't put the . after the r and it got blocked. -- To send an email to the list, send your msg to pestlist@museumpests.Net To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pestlist@museumpests.net and in the subject put: unsubscribe - no quotes please.
