If you have pheromone traps in multiple sites that are successfully trapping 
carpet beetles (which would be males)I would be worried about pulling them 
without educating staff on specific sanitation procedure and setting up 
protocols on targeted vacuuming to break the cycle. You will have males on the 
loose looking to  procreate. The building envelopes should be evaluated as well 
at chronic hot spots. Then I would say it would be safer to scale back 
some..But I would think it unwise to say none ever as they can be quite the 
resource for pin pointing a breach or source. JTV

Dear Scott,



I must say that the advice from the two conservators giving the course was not 
very precise!! I give a lot of IPM courses in Europe and other places, and 
usually we get this question at every workshop, here is my standard answer:

1. Yes it is possible that we attract animals from outside, but place pheromone 
traps in the center of the room at least 5-10m from windows and doors to 
prevent this. -> easy to prevent

2. Usually sex pheromones for moths and carpet beetles will only attract the 
males and you need a female laying eggs to start an infestation. -> so no big 
problem!

3. If I have the feeling that there is a source of moths outside of the 
building, this is a very important information and I place one trap inside and 
one outside to have a reliable answer to this question. If they really come 
from outside (a bird nest or dead animal can be a source of the infestation) 
your collection inside is at risk to get infested -> get rid of the problem

4. If you use food bait for mice (or some beetles) yes you can attract animals 
from outside so you have to think if the information is useful and important 
for you.

Pheromone traps are a very important tool for the monitoring of many pests and 
I use hundreds for webbing clothes moths in many buildings, they collect a lot 
of important information’s for the IPM!!



All the best from Vienna,



Pascal

Good morning. I work for the US Army at one of their museums and we use 
pheromone pest control traps, especially for carpet beetles. One of my staff 
was at a US Army museums course two weeks ago and was told by two conservators 
that all pheromone traps must be removed from all Army museums as they lure 
bugs in from outside with the pheromone - like through doors and windows. They 
stated that it attracts more insects in to the buildings and makes it more 
difficult to control pests (we have these pheromone traps as well as ground 
traps near doors and windows to catch anything coming in - no carpet beetles in 
the floor traps but we do get a couple in the pheromone traps). I have never 
heard of this happening before and wanted to check to see anyone has heard of 
this or knew approximately how far one of the pheromone traps "odor" went out 
from the trap. I just can't see that one of these small traps can lure insects 
through doors and walls like the two conservators stated. Any information you 
could provide would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you.

Hi Todd

Regarding the thickness of the plastic wrap/bags, thicker garbage bags/sheet 
plastic is used mainly as it is stronger when handling and there is less 
moisture transmission through the film than with thinner films. As a rough guide
- disposable shopping bags/bin liners are about 1ml (you should double bag if 
using this type)
- ziplock-style sandwich bags are about 2ml (and some have a moisture barrier 
layer)
- 'tough' garbage/garden refuse bags may be 4-6ml. Many of these types of bags 
have reinforced layers that adds to their strength.

You're not creating an oxygen barrier so holes and tears aren't such an issue. 
If you find scrapes or tears just repair them with tape.

One more thing. When you're freezing a lot of items you may find water 
building-up under and between bags of frozen items. You can reduce this by 
using fans to keep air moving over the objects post freezing.

 Best wishes
Alex

Hello Everyone,

Good thread- very informative.

Since the topic of freezing is going on here, I was wondering if I could pick 
your brains on a few things.  Hopefully this doesn't take us to far off topic.

1)  Does anyone here have strong opinions about the mil of plastic used in 
freezing treatments?  Is there a good "go to mil" that you like for freezing 
bags?  Is the only downside to a thinner mil its greater likelihood of tearing, 
or does it have a less desirable affect in other aspects of freezing too?

2)  How big of a problem is it, when loading a freezer, if a small scuff is 
made in the plastic?  If there is any hole/scuff in the plastic membrane (even 
a small fraction of an inch) does that compromise the object inside?  If the 
scuff is made only on the outer bag, and it is "double bagged", does that outer 
bag need to be taken off and "re-bagged"?

If anyone has opinions on these issues I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Hi Alex,


Thank you so much for taking the time out to respond to my questions.  I've 
indeed been thinking freezing might be my best option.  I do have another 
question given your mention of the risk of  mould. How long is it safe to have 
these items bagged/wrapped tightly in plastic before we subject them to 
freezing?  I am trying my best to move rather quickly with this project but 
sometimes things go slow.


Best regards.

Hi Hazra
Bagging infested/suspect materials and freezing will be a great approach for 
treatment of the items.
Storing the (treated) materials up off the floor post freezing (i.e. on blocks 
or tables) will enable you to keep an eye out for further termite attack.
If you're dealing with drywood termites then even small wooden items can 
contain colonies, but again freezing would be a suitable approach (assuming 
items won't be damaged by freezing).
You could go down the low oxygen path for treatment, but it's much more 
expensive. One large bag could be used to treat the entire collection, or you 
could make several smaller bags. The small bag approa

Key note . wooden items would need to have a moisture content less than 19% 
in order for bag/isolation to be faster and a total guaranteed success 
depending of the extent and species of the termites. In case other are thinking 
this may work for all situations. JTV

Hello,


Kindly permit me to intervene into this space to ask for safe, efficient, and 
cost-effective solutions for remedying severe termite infestations of artefacts 
and documentary heritage that are slated to become part of a special museum 
collection.  We have inherited a collection of artefacts and documents, many of 
which show clear signs of termite infestation or damage from said infestation 
and which are currently still being housed in a building suffering severe 
disrepair.  In an effort to curtail the spread of the infestation whilst the 
pieces are still in their unsuitable environment, I have taken to bagging 
(wrapping the wooden sculptures in plastic bags and sealing them with tape. I 
have also isolated documents in bags.  Removal from the premises is understood 
as a necessary step to ensure the rehabilitation of these items.  Also, 
freezing has been suggested as well as anoxia. Any advice you give will be 
greatly appreciated as this is very new territory for us.

Hi everyone,



I am the Collections Manager at the Angelo State Natural History Collections. 
We have a persistent pest problem with a number of insect species entering the 
collections (seasonal crickets, ground beetles), but only a few that are 
imminent dangers to our collections--what we believe to be drugstore beetles 
(Stegobium paniceum) in the skins collection, and clothes moths (Tineola 
bisselliella) in low density in a skull collection where wool was formerly 
stored. Please see the attached photos for what species we are dealing with. We 
have historically used freezing and isolation to manage pest outbreaks, but the 
degree of pest exposure is greater at this time. Our collection cases are 
elevated, the door seals are generally in good shape, and we use and monitor 
sticky traps



Specimens--and, at times, cases--with beetles are frozen at -20C for 2wks when 
positive for pests or pest frass, but the number of cases with pests exceed our 
freezer capacity. Live drugstore beetles have been found in one collection room 
on the floor as well as on the tops of cases. We have fogged the room with 
CB-80 (0.05% pyrethrin, nonresidual) with case doors closed. We plan to fog 
again two weeks after this initial fogging to catch any larva that may have 
hatched since the first treatment.



The collections room has some degree of shelving, books, etc. that may harbor 
pests. Fogging the room we hope rids them from those habitats. The collections 
are housed within an older biology building. We don't have the resources to do 
major facilities work, but if there are suggestions for better sequestering our 
collections through some facilities upgrades I'd be glad to hear it. There are 
drugstore beetles in rooms within the biology building outside of the 
collections and I fear they simply re-enter after we fumigate. Tight door 
sweeps have been installed and windows (where they exist) have been re-sealed. 
I am working on potentially getting additional filters or fine screens 
installed for our HVAC ducts.



My questions for you all:

  1.  Are we correct in our pest identifications? Striations appear on the 
elytra of the beetles, and they do possess the characteristic antenna of 
drugstore beetles (though this doesn't show up in my photos).
  2.  For drugstore beetle infestations in particular, does anyone have 
specific recommendations?
  3.  Is anyone using fogging? Did you leave the doors to your cases open 
during fogging? Has anyone used CB-80 as a museum-approved aerosol?



I would be happy to provide additional useful details. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

This was found upstairs in a draw. The area is the front desk where the phone 
and entryway is located. Where the public visit the exhibits.  The area has 
carpet. Also people that have been working the front desk have been leaving 
processed foods.  I did not see any adults, only the larvae.   I am unsure if 
it is Furniture Carpet Beetle (Anthremus flavipes) (LeConte) or Buffalo carpet 
Beetle (Anthrermus scrophulaia.)  I am thinking it is the Furniture Carpet 
Beetle ((Anthremus flavipes) (LeConte).   We do have textiles, and wool in the 
collections.Am I correct on the ID.  What are some recommendations on how 
to keep them contained  to the one area.  I know you can place items in 
freezers. The draws do not come out of the desk and I not thank they will pull 
the carpet up any time soon.   We currently have a few textiles artifacts on 
display.  Should I recommend that the textiles be placed in the freezer and 
what other recommendation should I make?

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could identify what type of beetle this is. A few 
coworkers think that it is  a cotton beetle…but I haven’t been able to find too 
much information on what those beetles do and what potential risks they might 
present to our collection. They have been found (mainly dead) near one of our 
doors that leads outside in groups of anywhere from 10-30 each morning. We have 
also noticed them near the door to an emergency stairwell in another part of 
our building. Most of the time they are dead—likely due to the sprayed barrier 
that we have applied to our exterior doors. But the ones near the emergency 
stairwell were still skittering around.

Any help on how to eradicate them and what they could potentially do to a 
collection would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Best,

Lynsey,

Millipedes sometimes have irregular “migrations” where they can enter buildings 
in large numbers. I’m not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp 
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal 
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around 
the building.

Hi there,

One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to 
be millipedes – please see first image attached. I’m not sure that they are 
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp 
(which we’re already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we 
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can’t identify (second 
image). Does anyone recognise this?

Many thanks,

Tootsie roll slices attached with a hot glue gun. I have incredible success 
with that as a bait. If you use mini t-rex traps the bait will work for years

Hi everyone,

I am looking for suggestions for bait for snap trap style mouse traps in our 
collections storage areas. We previously used peanut butter with some success, 
but concerns have been raised about potential staff and visitor allergies due 
to the peanut butter potentially being spread around and urinated out by the 
mice who escape the traps. I read somewhere that gummy bears might work as 
bait, but that was in the context of rat traps and I have not yet tried them 
for mice. (Thankfully, we don’t have a rat problem!). Obviously, I would prefer 
a solution that will not add to our insect pest issues. Total exclusion of mice 
is difficult if not impossible as we are in an old building with an infinite 
number of possible entry points.

Hello everyone,

This interesting visitor was found outside of our museum the other day here in 
Sarasota, FL. I was just curious as to what it was and wanted to see if anyone

museum walls). The body of it was about 3.5 to 4 cm with some really long 
antennae.

 Check first to see if floor drain traps have evaporated and are now 
dryif so just fill them with water. This happens when the drains are not 
used on a regular basis.


  Someone down the line could have been doing work on the sewer lines and

Subject: [pestlist] Drywood Termites


?Dear Pestlist,



I am seeking advice on the treatment of drywood termites in the structure of 
one of our historic library structures here at UF.  We are aware that there are 
termites in the window frames in one of our archival storage rooms. The entire 
building holds special collections library and archival materials, reading 
rooms, exhibition spaces, and other public areas.



We are investigating the extent of the infestation, as well as the approach 
that our campus facilities group recommends. We know that on other campus 
buildings, the approach is to tent and treat, but moving our collections is not 
feasible, so any treatment must be done with collections in situ. As both 
termites and (possible) building-wide treatment are new issues in my career, I 
am interested in any guidance or resources that you can share.



Many thanks,

Fletcher

Re: [pestlist] Mouse proofing doors

Brush style door sweeps installed on the inside will degrade slower and last 
longer if you can tolerate the asthetics.

Dear colleagues,

We have a low level problem with mouse ingress through four doors on one side 
of the building and I am wondering whether you may have any experience with 
retrospective mouse proofing of external doors.

The doors in question are solid wood with wooden thresholds; there is a gap 
under all of the doors which is not big but I suspect just large enough for the 
mice to squeeze through. They are closed most of the time but lead to our 
lecture theatre and when they are open are frequented by hundreds of feet. I am 
therefore looking for a solution that is secure and sturdy at the same time. 
And cost-efficient, of course.

Gratefully yours
Christian

Thank you to those who’ve given information on this infestation.

I have just come across this article about Anobium punctatum 
http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/woodworm/woodworm.htm   which 
states:

The deposition of quantities of fresh gritty frass from the emergence holes may 
sometimes indicate active infection. However, frass may often be found coming 
out of emergence holes in previously affected timbers many years after active 
infection has ceased. This may be due to vibration caused by heavy traffic on 
adjacent roads or building works elsewhere on the structure. Again, the 
appearance of freshly deposited frass around emergence holes has often been the 
justification for extensive remedial treatments in the past, even when the 
infection by Anobium punctatum has been dead or inactive for many years.

This makes me wonder if, instead of seeing an active infestation, we are seeing 
frass and dead insects shaken out of the wood during transit from Italy which 
come from a previous, now infactive infestation.  Attached are pictures of the 
frass.  In the picture of the greyish wooden door you see frass at the bottom 
right (In the second photo I’ve circled areas of frass in yellow) while the 
other photo shows frass deposited on the crate itself.  I have already made 
tentative arrangements to have this crate and its contents treated with CO2 
next week, but given that the treatment is expensive, should I do further 
investigation in an attempt to find out if the infestation is active?  Or 
should I just play it safe and have the treatment done ASAP?  Of course we 
don’t want to take any risk of an active infestation continuing and of the 
insects travelling throughout our storage areas. And since these insects have a 
long life cycle, even if the frass is old, how would I know there are not eggs 
inside, waiting to hatch and do more damage?

Here is what the article says about identifying an active infestation:

Searching for live Anobium punctatum larvae within timber is generally 
destructive, and surprisingly few larvae may actually be found. It is possible 
to use highly sensitive piezoelectric microphones embedded in the timbers to 
monitor activity, but this is not yet the basis of an effective diagnostic 
technique for use in the field. Similarly, it is possible to identify recently 
produced frass using immunological or genetic techniques. Again, this is not 
yet the basis of a cost-effective field identification technique.
In practical terms, the likelihood of significant Anobium punctatum infection 
is relatively easy to assess, in that if the deep moisture content of the 
timber is below 12 per cent, it is too dry for infection and decay to occur, 
while if the moisture content is between approximately 16 and 30 per cent it is 
possible, even if infection and decay is not present at the time of 
investigation. If a deep moisture content of 16-30 per cent is found in the 
sapwood of vulnerable timber, then an assessment has to be made whether this 
moisture content is likely to persist for over two years. If this is the case, 
then appropriate remedial measures should be considered.
I’m inclined to go ahead with the treatment but wonder if those with insect 
expertise would advise further investigation first.

We have just received a shipment of drawings and on opening the crate we 
discovered several dead specimens of the beetle shown in the attached photos.  
Beneath the layers of drawings is an old wooden architectural fragment that the 
beetles have been tunnelling through with great enthusiasm.  There are huge 
amounts of frass.

We sealed the wrapped the crate in plastic sheeting , and plan to have it 
treated by anoxia with CO2.

What kind of beetle is this?  We don't have a lot of experience with 
wood-boring insects.

Thanks for your help.

I would start by doing an exterior foundation spray with A product called Fuse. 
That will knock out a lot. The trick is watching the forecast for a few days 
without rain. It can be sprayed on the outside (only)of the building up to 4 
times a year here in Virginia.You would have to check with your state laws 
first. Make sure to avoid air intakes when using this product as a perimeter 
exterior only treatment. We have had good success with this.

Anything and everything?  We have a large number of odd beetles and book lice 
everywhere.  There are a few carpet beetles that pop up every now and then.  I 
also found some drugstore beetles on a public floor, and though they haven't 
made a reappearance, I don't trust that they are gone.  In the basement and on 
the public floors the usual assortment of roaches.  And silverfish in one 
little corner where some negatives are stored.

Hello PestList,

We've been approached by our campus IPM coordinator about using insect growth 
regulators within our building.  Being as that we are the home to not only a 
large collection of books and manuscripts, but photographs as well.  If we were 
just a regular library, I'd say to go for it, but we aren't.  What is the 
current thought on using IGRs in cultural institutions, especially those with 
chemically sensitive collections?

Thanks,

Any plant material that you have has to dry down or the top 2-3 inches of soil 
needs to be removed. The only other option is a pesticide drench with an IRG in 
it to kill the next generation.  Joel
