Has any one used an outside contractor to do your pest monitoring? Our museum has a robust IPM policy and system in place, but we are struggling to find staff time to carry out the trap checks. We had a contract for a couple of years with a large national pest control company, but found the data format did not meet our needs: for example they could tell us how many moths were found over the entire institution but breaking that data down into rooms and traps required a huge amount of processing on my end. I noticed that Steritech has merged with Rentokil—has anyone had any positive experiences with them? Anyone else?
Thanks!

Hi Alison, I believe I've found some similar moths in my IPM rounds, and so would also be glad if anyone else knows what they are! I'm sure you've come across this before, but it's new to me and -while a bit overwhelming at times- has been a great help for identifying some of the weirder moths I've come across: https://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide=Moth&flags=HAS: Thanks, Gennifer Majors On Mon, Aug 5, 2019 at 8:35 AM alison_castaneda <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: If anyone has an idea of what these are, I would be very interested to know.

The office is on the 3rd floor of our Manhattan location. Can anyone help me identify them? Your responses are greatly appreciated!
