Hi, All! Like many living in rural areas, my institution in western Maine has been dealing with an influx of Asian Lady Beetles in our collection space over the winter months. With morale slowly being crushed by the incessant vacuuming, and general resentment setting in for our no-good, free-loading insect squatters (no, I'm not bitter), a pest mitigation company was called for a quote / consult on perimeter spraying the building for next season.
In addition to the exterior treatment, the company also recommended a UV light blunder trap to be placed in a work alcove area in the collection space, specifically the Brandenburg Genus fli LED (LINK <https://b-one.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Fli-Brochure.pdf>). I was wondering if anyone had any information or personal experience to share using a UV trap like this, specifically in collection spaces, I wasn't able to turn up much in my own research. Thanks!
