They sometimes appear in janitor's closets around mop buckets and/or standing water in floor drains. From what I know, I don't think they are considered threats to museum objects, other than they themselves becoming a food source for other problem insects. -Todd On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 8:42 AM, Lena Hernandez <lhernan...@themosh.org<mailto:lhernan...@themosh.org>> wrote: This is a message from the Museumpests.net List.
