Hello,

I'm working on this very thing as well. 

I've attached working draft of the trap list redo I'm doing for my museum in 
DC. We have everything in two buildings, on one floor and only the offices are 
fully divided off from the main exhibit space. Larger areas or specific spaces 
like cabinets/windows get subdivided from the section using a decimal system. 
I'm working with a colleague who recommended I tweak the numbering to better 
differentiate specific zones. So something like offices are 100s, education 
spaces are 200s, collection spaces, are 300s, etc. The traps themselves will be 
labeled with their number, area, section, and the date set. This seems to be 
working for the Navy.

Look forward to any further tips or tricks people have to share.

Best regards,

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] [pestlist] Successful Blunder Trap Naming/Numbering 
Conventions?

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently in the process of unifying all of the previously isolated 
trapping areas in the museum for improved integration. Does anyone have 
opinions about the best way to number and identify individual traps? My plan is 
to label them as such:

Month/Year placed
Room or Gallery Number - Trap #

That seems straight forward, and more or less what we've been doing, but there 
are many rooms and some rooms have 20+ traps - some on the ground and some up 
on cabinets. Does it help to break large rooms up into something like A,B,C 
areas then the trap #?  I want to do things right the first time around, so I'm 
trying to think ahead to all the information that might be helpful to have on a 
label and then in the logging worksheets. 

I'd love to hear/see examples of how everyone labels their traps and learn what 
works and what doesn't. 

Regards!
