Re: [pestlist] ID of pesticide package
I shouldn't even comment - my GUESS is that you are looking at a pheromone trap for moths. Can anyone help identify the pesticide likely to be in the package shown in the attached image?

Used to be called a No Pest Strip in the good old days..

That is an old DDVP pest strip - we still have some buried in our rather inaccessible light fixtures here...

It's very old and no longer volatilizing the pesticide, dichlorvos, into the air. It can be safely discarded into the regular trash. Thomas A.

I am not surprized - that was my gut feeling when I started finding them in the collections. Another strike against poisons!

Ideally, they should have been disposed of about one month after they were put in place.

Unfortunately, I can't dispose of the pesticide strip because it isn't mine. The photo was taken of the strip as it hangs in an exhibit in a public gallery of a well-known museum that shall remain nameless(but if you live in Chicago you can probably figure it out). The exhibit contains a headdress which contains feathers and appears to be made of felt, hanging very close to the DDVP strip. --John The information contained in this message and/or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
