Many treatments for clothes moth are only partially effective and often for only a short period of time. This is because the root cause (say a bird's nest in a disused chimney has not been reached by the treatment) so the problem will return. Continuous monitoring will establish if the problem is decreasing or rising again after a period of time, which will show the treament may not have been 100% effective. As with swallows and summers the odd moth may not signify but longer term trapping trends will Bob Child Historyonics -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Harmon Sent: 24 January 2010 23:06 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pestlist] Acceptable pest levels This is a message from the Pest Management Database List.

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.
