RE: [pestlist] EH video of moth capaign

One protein source, dried mouse carcasses, shouldn’t be overlooked as a reservoir source. Mouse corpses can be found in “unintended areas” if anticoagulant baits have been used, and can also be in “forgotten multicapture traps”. BTW, there have also been instances in North America of a small, but differently colored moth (Browndotted Clothes Moth, European House Moth - Niditinea fuscella) showing up in the Tineola bisselliella pheromone monitors. I saw samples from monitors in people’s homes, but the windows were open and there was no damage to textiles; webbing clothes moths not present. There are reports of its larvae feeding on dry animal and plant remains. It’s been taken from bird nests feeding on shed feathers and feces, and also associated with grains and stored products. A story in Fumigants & Pheromones (2012. V. 104- Pat knows this one) by their entomologist (Alain VanRyckeghem, BCE) noted the following: woolen rugs in poor conditions such as damp basements may be susceptible to attack. They are more commonly found in bird nests – particularly of chicken, domestic pigeon, and swallows, where they feed on shed feathers and feces. These moths have been found on taxidermy mounts feeding on feathers, and in insect cultures feeding on dead bodies and frass. They are scavengers of grain or soybean dust in damp dark buildings. The larvae may also feed on organic litter in wooded areas, farm buildings such as poultry houses or feeding on fungus growth in mulch around homes. Lou Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.

NOT a museum pest, but carcasses will support several carpet beetle larvae. Remove all such large carcasses to prevent carpet beetle problems.
