Hi Katherine, When I had this issue at a previous museum where I worked, we found the problem was a leak in the landscaping not that far from the entrance point. We ended up fixing that leak and also putting better door sweeps on the doors. It seemed to resolve itself after that. Best of luck, Christina
Christina Cain Anthropology Collections Manager University of Colorado Museum of Natural History 303-492-2198 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Katherine Fecteau Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2019 8:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [pestlist] Requestion advice to resolve a pill bug infestation Good morning, We’ve been having increasingly more substantial problems with pill bugs in one of our collections storage spaces, a subterranean basement. I’ve attached a photo of one of the traps pulled from this space during our last survey – there are two other traps that were equally full. The basement’s perimeter floor traps are full of pill bugs and other pests and the floor, which was clean in early December, is covered in pill bug carcasses. Apart from resolving existing envelope issues in the basement, which are already on our maintenance agenda, does anyone have any recommendations for eradicating the pest population in the meantime? Thank you for your time and input!
