Thank you so much Joan for this really helpful article! This looks like it will really help with setting up my structure.

Good afternoon list, I hope you're all well. I am currently writing an IPM instructions document for our institution. One of the questions that often comes up is at what point do you have enough pests to qualify for interventive treatment? Whilst attempting to get to zero pests is lovely I'm not sure that's something that can be realistically achieved in most institutions. So, if for example you have a catch of silverfish in one of your traps, how many would one catch before saying you have too many and need to put down some pesticide? 5/10/20? Considering the blunder traps are only a small representation of floor space in the store if you have say 10 silverfish in the traps I assume that the amount of silverfish in the store overall is much greater. Does anyone have a hard cut off line for what is a reasonable amount of pest activity or a "manageable" amount? Or if you just have some thoughts on the topic that would be great!
