This is a message from the Museumpests.net List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe look at the footer of this email. --- We already spray the exterior of the building with esfenvalerate, which has helped tremendously preventivng new critters from getting in. However, we still need to address our resident populations. My understanding is that Gentrol (hydroprene) will also affect a handful of other common pests, including drugstore beetles. Our biggest concern about using this product is how the IPM coordinator for our campus described how it is used. He made it sound like the chemical travels through the building, or at least parts of it, meaning that it touches everything. We're used to target spraying, but the idea of a chemical floating through the air and coming into contact with photographic collections does raise a concern. Another concern we are curious about is if Gentrol arrests development of larva, do they stay in the larval stage longer and cause more damage to whatever they are feeding on as a result? Mostly I'm interested in hearing if anyone else out there has tried IGRs and what their experiences are.

Being as that we are the home to not only a large collection of books and manuscripts, but photographs as well. If we were just a regular library, I'd say to go for it, but we aren't. What is the current thought on using IGRs in cultural institutions, especially those with chemically sensitive collections? Thanks, Alan Van Dyke -- Alan P.
