Bernice, I believe you will be hard pressed to find any outside company as the
culture is to mostly sell chemical treatments not real museum IPM solutions or
solutions based on any noticeable data trends. A consultant specialist could do
it but for that cost you should probably consider hiring someone full time to
do everything. That trend is slowly starting to catch on. Let see if anyone
else chimes in with thoughts. JTV

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:

Hello all,
We found these small (~1/8") insects in a blunder trap placed in an office.
The office is on the 3rd floor of our Manhattan location. Can anyone help me
identify them? Your responses are greatly appreciated!
Best,
