You should always strive for a 0 population level especially with clothes
moths which have the potential for rapid population explosion. Monitoring
on a continuous basis with pheromones and inspection, sanitation and
constant vigilance between your pest management company and the museum staff
are all crucial elements that will minimize the population. Even if it
appears to have been treated properly and abated, always assume there are
some moths in a reservoir location just waiting for the opportunity to
expand.

Hello
Does anyone have figures on acceptable levels of pests ( particularly
clothes moths) within a museum environment? Not within individual cases,
but the building as a whole.
A routine trapping schedule will tell you when a problem is escalating,
but once it has been treated ( assuming that no treatment will be 100%
effective) what, if any levels can you live with?
