RE: [pestlist] ID Help Needed

[Anne Lane]

Thank you so much for identifying my crawly little carpet beetle larva. I have asked our facilities director to report to our pest control provider bug man, so hopefully they’ll come up with a solution. Anyone have info on using Gentrol to control carpet beetles in a museum? This is the first time I’ve come across one, and it was a migrant from the gallery downstairs. Would I be wise to put out pheromone lures in sticky traps up here in Collections. Thanks, again -   - Anne Anne T.
