Hi Nicole,

 

what temperature do you have for your treatment and what pest (in wood or others?). if you have about 25 C and the anoxia systhem is working, you should have 0,0 % Oxygen and 3 weeks should be enough. For wood boring pests it should be fine also, but they one of are the hardest to kill with anoxia.

 

All the best from Europe,

 

Pascal

Hello lists (crossposting with OSG and Pests),
Thank you all for your help and advice in designing an anoxic system. I was able to order the RP-K oxygen scavengers direct from Mitsubishi and since there were none in stock in all of North America they shipped them all the way from Tokyo. My RH is holding at 45%, which is good. Also, a very generous colleague has lent us an oxygen detecting system.

 

I am writing now to ask if anyone - particularly perhaps the bug experts on the Pest list - can tell me about the life cycle of the Anobiidae family, and if there is any wiggle room on the 21-day recommendation for anoxic treatment. The shipment from Japan set us back a few days and we will hit the 21-day mark exactly one day after the show opens. What kind of risk are we looking at if we choose to take them out after 20 days?

 

Thanks,

Nicole

Dear Scott,

 

I must say that the advice from the two conservators giving the course was not very precise!! I give a lot of IPM courses in Europe and other places, and usually we get this question at every workshop, here is my standard answer:

1. Yes it is possible that we attract animals from outside, but place pheromone traps in the center of the room at least 5-10m from windows and doors to prevent this. -> easy to prevent

2. Usually sex pheromones for moths and carpet beetles will only attract the males and you need a female laying eggs to start an infestation. -> so no big problem!

3. If I have the feeling that there is a source of moths outside of the building, this is a very important information and I place one trap inside and one outside to have a reliable answer to this question. If they really come from outside (a bird nest or dead animal can be a source of the infestation) your collection inside is at risk to get infested -> get rid of the problem

4. If you use food bait for mice (or some beetles) yes you can attract animals from outside so you have to think if the information is useful and important for you. 

Pheromone traps are a very important tool for the monitoring of many pests and I use hundreds for webbing clothes moths in many buildings, they collect a lot of important information’s for the IPM!!

 

All the best from Vienna,

 

Pascal

Good morning. I work for the US Army at one of their museums and we use pheromone pest control traps, especially for carpet beetles. One of my staff was at a US Army museums course two weeks ago and was told by two conservators that all pheromone traps must be removed from all Army museums as they lure bugs in from outside with the pheromone - like through doors and windows. They stated that it attracts more insects in to the buildings and makes it more difficult to control pests (we have these pheromone traps as well as ground traps near doors and windows to catch anything coming in - no carpet beetles in the floor traps but we do get a couple in the pheromone traps). I have never heard of this happening before and wanted to check to see anyone has heard of this or knew approximately how far one of the pheromone traps "odor" went out from the trap. I just can't see that one of these small traps can lure insects through doors and walls like the two conservators stated. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you.

Proposed themes (not restrictive) :

- Definition of IPM

- The new legislative framework concerning biocides and plant protection products

- Norms and standards

- Risk management and IPM strategy in heritage institutions and during renovation or building work

 

- New technologies and techniques of assessment, monitoring and prevention

- Non chemical and chemical treatment methods

Dear friends and colleagues,

I am happy to announce the date for the next meeting on Integrated Pest 
Management in museums, archives and historic buildings has been fixed for the 
5-7. June 2013 in Vienna. I welcome you to come to Vienna for this 
international conference at the Kunsthistorische Museum in the center of the 
city. www.khm.at 

In the tree-day meeting I want to cover three big topics on IPM in museums: (1) 
Treatments methods for infested objects, what methods are we using today and 
what changes and new regulations can we expect in the future, 
(2) Integrated Pest Management concept and case studies and 
(3) biology of pests species, how can we use this information in IPM. There 
will be some exiting excursions as part of the program and some really special 
evening events...

There will be also a short two-day course on IPM (3-4. of July), please let me 
know as soon as possible if you are interested.

This is just the first announcement for you to save the date. As soon as the 
homepage for the conference is finished and I am ready for the abstract 
submission, I will contact you again.

All the best for 2012 and hope to see you all in Vienna 2013,

Pascal

[pestlist] Literature on Anoxia at 0,8 O2 levels

[Pascal Querner]

Hi,

I am revising the literature on Anoxia for museum pests and until now I only 
found one citation on experiments with O2 levels of 0,6% to 0,9% (Rust  
Kennedy 1995). Is that the only study with such high O2 levels for museum 
pests?? 

We need good recommendations for an anoxia (N2) museum camber that has a 
temperature of 26C, but the oxygen level can go only down to 0,8 or 0,6%. Are 
there any other studies with such high levels and can you please send them or 
the link?? We will work with a 6 weeks cycle for the treatment for the start.

If we don’t find anything we will start a large-scale experiment with different 
pests for these “high” levels of O2 in Austria, for that we need as many pest 
species as possible. If anyone can help us out with live insects or is 
interested to participate please also contact me (pascal.quer...@gmx.at)  

All the best,

Pascal
