Hi Megan
The "cases" are sections of a millipede's cuticle (legs missing). The pouch
could be associated with a moth larva, but might just be a bundle of fluff
that has become stuck to the side of the trap. The millipede bits didn't
get there on their own, so I wonder whether some sweepings have
accidentally found their way into the trap?
Best wishes

Hi Megan
It looks rather like a *Trixagus *species (Throscidae) - if there's just
the one, I'd put it down to an accidental intruder.

I've encountered this problem in an historic mansion in the Hudson Valley.  
Lots of adults indoors in pheromone traps, but no larvae or damage to the 
wall-to-wall woolen carpets.  Traced to pigeons droppings and nesting material 
on the roof of the adjacent veranda.

Hi Megan 
This is a Monopis species - almost certainly M. crocicapitella, the Pale-backed 
Clothes Moth (though it is known in the US as the "Bird Nest Moth"). It is 
becoming a frequent pest in domestic and public buildings in Europe, or at 
least it is coming to our notice more frequently, especially as it is attracted 
to Tineola pheromone traps. Although the adults can be abundant, finding larvae 
is proving much more difficult.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello Megan,

Certainly has a resemblance to a type of clothes moth. If it is, they 
tend to like a number of different textile type items but have a tendency 
towards animal hair/fur, clothing, carpets/rugs, and that type of material. 
Check your surrounding environment for similar materials and see if you have 
any larvae or more full grown moths. Depending on what you find depends on what 
you do. Anywhere from dry cleaning to large scale freezing. Keep the humidity 
under control, regular inspection, good house keeping policies, sealing of 
items (if appropriate), and closing up entry points will deter further issues. 
Sticky and pheromone traps are handy for keeping an eye on the situation.

It might be something else or could have come in on someone, lets hope!

It looks from the picture like a Black Carrion Beetle. That would be my guess.

This is most likely a dumb question, but if we caught the queen, does that mean 
the colony is most likely inside the building? Has anyone had experience 
dealing with carpenter ant colonies? Our building was built in 1896, so there 
is a lot of old, moist wood for them to live in. I am just trying to figure out 
what steps to take next. Please e-mail me with suggestions - here is my e-mail,

2 ants. Large one looks like a de-alate queen carpenter ant. Maybe the small 
one is a pavement ant (2-node), but not sure, could be something else. Need a

I'd agree with Louis. Moth looks like the webbing clothes moth. Small ant is 
likely a pavement ant; would be good to get a clearer shot of the head.

Hello Megan,

The first image looks like a couple ants, likely an accidental visitor 
but check for pest access points if you're seeing multiples. If there's food in 
the area that might be what attracted them. The second image looks like a 
clothes moth, but certainly others may correct me on that.

Hello everyone,

I found a couple disconcerting pests today. I have my suspicions about what 
they might be, but I'd like confirmation before I decide what actions to take.

2 ants. Large one looks like a de-alate queen carpenter ant. Maybe the small 
one is a pavement ant (2-node), but not sure, could be something else. Need a 
better view of it. The moth is a clothes moth (tineid).

The psocid is Dorypteryx domestica (a minor pest if at all). The "dermestid 
larva" is a Bristly Millipede (Polyxenus sp. - signifies a damp environment, 
but not a pest).
I'm not sure about the moth - not a familiar British species.

Hello everyone,

I can tell that summer is finally starting, because our pest traps are 
becoming much more popular! I need help identifying three different insects 
this time around. The first two (labeled unid 1 and unid 2) are each about 2 mm 
long. My first guesses for those two are Psocid (unid 1) and Dermestid larvae 
(unid 2), but I'd like to have an expert look at them before I add that to my 
records. I'm worried that the third may be some sort of Clothing moth. Please 
help!

Thanks again,

Alan et al.,
One more thought. Thrips have an odd tendency to sample most any substrate with 
their piercing mouthparts. I anticipate that they figure (if they are capable 
of thought) that whatever they’re perched upon is a plant and might contain 
tasty plant juices. I frequently receive complaints from folks who have been at 
the wrong end of those piercing mouthparts. I imagine the thrips is as 
surprised as is the victim, and perhaps a bit mortified to have hit blood or 
mammalian tissue fluid. “What the heck is this thing biting me” is a common 
utterance of those who’ve suffered from thrips contact. The problem tends to be 
seasonal and is frequently associated with proximity to farms, orchards or 
flower gardens. Thrips and other flying insects are disoriented by artificial 
lights, and may thereby enter our dwellings. The bites are annoying but of no 
real concern unless you have chlorophyll flowing through your veins. In those 
cases, you might worry about contracting some thrips-vectored plant pathogens.

That’s a thrips. Note, that thrips is the correct singular and plural form for 
insects of this insect order.  They’re pests of living plants. Most often they 
fly or wander in through open windows and doors. Many are small enough to pass 
through intact standard window screens. They should pose no concern to museum 
holdings…. unless your facility has valuable living plants that may be 
considered desirable to these insects.

That’s a thrips. Note, that thrips is the correct singular and plural form for 
insects of this insect order.  They’re pests of living plants. Most often they 
fly or wander in through open windows and doors. Many are small enough to pass 
through intact standard window screens. They should pose no concern to museum 
holdings…. unless your facility has valuable living plants that may be 
considered desirable to these insects.

Hello all,

Attached is a photo of a small insect that has been cropping up lately in some 
of my sticky traps.  It's about a millimeter in length.  Anyone recognize it?

Thanks,

Alan

I'd say this was a species of *Trixagus *(Elateridae). They breed in dead
wood, but to my knowledge do not affect sound structural timber.
Although it looks similar this is not a dermestid or anobiid!

One of the *Chalcophora *species - larvae feed in decaying pine wood, so
should not be regarded as a pest of historic buildings (unless you have
bigger problems!)

Hi everyone!

My colleague found this insect in our historic house. She said it is about 1 ½ 
inches long and seems to have a metallic underside. Does anyone know what this 
is?

Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me identify some of these pests. I have already
identified the springtails, but I am worried about the flying insects I have
been finding in our Collections storage (particularly the insect on Trap 7).
Please help!

Because of the white bands, I say Smokeybrown cockroach nymph. A bit less 
likely to set up permanent residence indoors than the American, but they can 
infest.

Dear all,
Does anyone recognize this little beetle, found dead and thankfully all alone 
in a frame? His body measures about 3mm in length. Many thanks for your help 
with this ID.

Nancy & others,

Actually, I’m putting together a presentation for pest management professionals 
in November (there’s a recertification meeting that time every year in NYC) and 
my topic this time will be something like “W** is stuck in the damn glue?” 
(title to be amended!).  This way the PMPs will have some help in identifying 
the unknowns by their parts because many samples are not in pristine condition 
after capture.  I’ve been amassing quite a number of glue boards over the 
years.  If you have any good ones –and don’t mind parting with them- please 
send them along.  This can be a beginning for some type of publication.

Thank you Rachael,

 

And, you are right, it is interesting to see the photos come in and certainly, 
when specimens are stuck in the glue on insect monitors, they do not look like 
the photographs.  I was thinking that a publication using actual photos and

Dear Colleagues,

The PestList is an amazing resource that has grown from its original 11 users 
to over 600 individuals worldwide.  It is gratifying that entomologists, pest 
management professionals and others are available to share their knowledge and 
identify pests that we find in our institutions.  I’d like to remind everyone 
that there resources on identification developed by the IPM Working Group on 
the MuseumPests website http://museumpests.net/identification/ .  Before you 
post to the list please take a moment to check the image library, the Pest Fact 
Sheets and the section with additional Identification Resources.  I don’t want 
to discourage people from posting to the list, but you may find that you can 
answer your own question and learn an additional useful fact or two as well!

 

We also wanted to let you know that virtually all the presentations and posters 
from March’s MuseumPests 2014: Integrated Pest Management for Museums, 
Libraries, Archives and Historic Sites conference and workshop session are now 
online at http://museumpests.net/museumpests-2014-conference/.  We hope that 
you will take some time to peruse this new, valuable content.  Again our 
grateful thanks go to my IPM-WG Co-Chair Ryan Jones, Patty Silence and the 
Preventive Care and Conference staff at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation 
for managing and hosting the program.

 

We have other new content that was completed at the meeting and will be going 
up in the next few weeks.  Please check the website and we’ll notify the list 
as we go.

Hi all!
Good work lou! I am also cataloging museum insect pests in Egypt. It is a heavy 
duty and will take much time, but at the same time it is very important, 
specially in here Egypt.
Could you tell me more about the meeting you mentioned, Lou?! I would be happy 
to participate if I could!
Thank you all.

Nancy & others,
Actually, I'm putting together a presentation for pest management professionals 
in November (there's a recertification meeting that time every year in NYC) and 
my topic this time will be something like "W** is stuck in the damn glue?" 
(title to be amended!).  This way the PMPs will have some help in identifying 
the unknowns by their parts because many samples are not in pristine condition 
after capture.  I've been amassing quite a number of glue boards over the 
years.  If you have any good ones -and don't mind parting with them- please 
send them along.  This can be a beginning for some type of publication.
Lou

Thank you Rachael,

And, you are right, it is interesting to see the photos come in and certainly, 
when specimens are stuck in the glue on insect monitors, they do not look like 
the photographs.  I was thinking that a publication using actual photos and 
their identities would also be useful.

Dear Colleagues,
The PestList is an amazing resource that has grown from its original 11 users 
to over 600 individuals worldwide.  It is gratifying that entomologists, pest 
management professionals and others are available to share their knowledge and 
identify pests that we find in our institutions.  I'd like to remind everyone 
that there resources on identification developed by the IPM Working Group on 
the MuseumPests website http://museumpests.net/identification/ .  Before you 
post to the list please take a moment to check the image library, the Pest Fact 
Sheets and the section with additional Identification Resources.  I don't want 
to discourage people from posting to the list, but you may find that you can 
answer your own question and learn an additional useful fact or two as well!

We also wanted to let you know that virtually all the presentations and posters 
from March's MuseumPests 2014: Integrated Pest Management for Museums, 
Libraries, Archives and Historic Sites conference and workshop session are now 
online at http://museumpests.net/museumpests-2014-conference/.  We hope that 
you will take some time to peruse this new, valuable content.  Again our 
grateful thanks go to my IPM-WG Co-Chair Ryan Jones, Patty Silence and the 
Preventive Care and Conference staff at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation 
for managing and hosting the program.

We have other new content that was completed at the meeting and will be going 
up in the next few weeks.  Please check the website and we'll notify the list 
as we go.

Best,
Rachael

You collected a male odd beetle, Thylodrias contractus.  This is a dermestid 
beetle where the female is wingless and often misidentified as being a bed bug 
nymph.  Look up pictures and you’ll see why it’s called odd.  The larvae are 
also very interesting looking.

Re: [pestlist] ID & freezer question

[Neil Carey]

s
based, but our Macs worked well using Parallels, and the data/graphs can be
saved in Excel. http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-502-PLUS.aspx

4. For real-time temperature monitoring, a wireless thermo-hygrometer
sensor and monitor was used (temp. resolution +/- 0.1 C). This transmitted
data from the freezer to the indoors.  An audible alarm was set to go off
if the temperature rose to -20 C.
http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/general/temperature/wireless/emr963hg.htm

5. Fiberglass table. In order to increase horizontal area within the
freezer for placement of objects, an 8' long x 30" wide folding banquet
fiberglass table was ordered from Costco and delivered.
http://www.costco.com/Alera-Folding-Banquet-Table-96%22-x-30%22-Platinum-ALE-65601.product.11150839.html

6. A strong padlock from Home Depot with a long shackle to lock the door
handle on the freezer.
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Lock-Steel-1-Universal-Pin-Laminated-Padlock-1UPLJ/100021161?N=yw#.UY1tAr_FNQk

The Process:

Objects were separated from their mounts/bases. All objects (masks,
figures, sacred paraphernalia) had previously been numbered upon their
acquisition, but many bases had not. This is where the stringed labels were
used, and after freezing it was a simple task reuniting objects and bases.

Objects were wrapped in tissue paper and secured with masking tape. Their
catalog numbers were written on the tape or paper with a permanent marker.

Each paper-wrapped object was sealed in a polyethylene bag. Most bags were
able to be sealed with the heat sealer. Those that couldn't were sealed by
tightly folding the edge of the poly several times and sealing with the 3M
double-sided tape.

Each piece was then wrapped in a second poly bag and sealed. The catalog
number was again written on the outside.

The freezer was already cooled to below -30 C when the items were placed
inside, both on the floor and on the fiberglass table. During the loading
phase, the data loggers showed transient increases in freezer temperatures
when the door was opened. The freezer was quite efficient, however, in
quickly returning to its lowest temps.

After the data loggers and wireless sensors were set, the freezer door
handle was locked with the padlock. Each day the unit was quickly checked a
without any change in temp. Although five to seven days at -30 C would have
been sufficient to kill pests, the freezing was continued for two weeks.
This allowed adequate time to treat the exhibition and storage areas.

All items were removed from the freezer before it was unplugged. After
defrosting, there were several areas where condensation had pooled on the
freezer's floor. This would not have affected the heat-sealed poly bags,
but it is not known if water would have seeped through the folded/taped
closures on the largest bags had they been left inside. It may be wise to
place all tape-closed items above floor level in case of an unexpected
defrost.

There was no detectable damage to any object from the entire process of
dismounting, wrapping, double bagging, transporting, freezing,defrosting,
unpacking, and remounting. One of the biggest concerns had been related to
the unequal temperature-related expansion/contraction of the materials on
metal-containing objects, but there seems to have been no adverse effect.

In the year since freezing, there has been no evidence of any recurrence of
pests.

Dr. Carey -

In Israel, I had a shipping container (the kind you see on ships and trucks 
at docks) capable of reaching similar temperatures dropped in a secure parking 
lot for freezing almost 30,000 books infested with bookworms.  For delivery and 
pick-up after we had finished, the thing cost only $600/month.

It would be helpful for the readers to know the name of the "nationwide 
company", so others could avail themselves of this approach if the need ever 
arises.  It would also be helpful if you included the exact product names and 
manufacturers of your monitoring devices.

Thank you for this important and practical information.

Annie,


Last August we discovered a webbing clothes moth infestation in the African 
collection. With over 200 objects a lab freezer was out of the question, though 
a used Revco or Fisher Scientific freezer would be perfect for small groups of 
items needing treatment.


I had an 8' x 20' walk-in freezer delivered from a nationwide company. They 
dropped it off in the driveway. I needed to provide 230 volts. It took a week 
to wrap, double bag and heat seal all items. Meanwhile, the freezer was getting 
cold in the hot, humid Amherst summer.


Although only rated down to -20 C, the temps actually ran around -33 C. During 
12 hour defrosts, the temps rose to only about -23C. I placed 2 inexpensive USB 
data recorders in the freezer, plus a wireless Temp/RH monitor with an alarm 
set for -20. I've attached a graph below.


The objects were frozen for about 2 weeks, much longer than needed.


This setup would be perfect for immediate and occasional needs for large 
collections. For frequent usage, purchase makes more sense than rental.

Annie,
I believe that the image jonesh3.jpg may be a dealated formosan termite 
swarmer. A clearer view of the wing remnents could clarify. If this was 
captured recently it more or less coincides with formosan swarming in New 
Orleans.

Hello pest list,
 
I have attached four images: three of which I believe are different phases of 
the odd beetle, but am looking for some confirmation of that. I had thought 
that all the larvae I was finding were carpet beetle larvae, but now am 
rethinking that as I find what I think are odd beetle adults. But it seems as 
though they both raise similar concerns in relation to library collections.
 
I don’t have a clue of what the thing pictured in the image titled jonesh3 is, 
can anyone ID it?
 
I’m also putting a query out there about a freezer. I’d like to get a freezer 
for our institution that will be used for incoming gifts and possibly as a 
mechanism for treating a large collection in the process of moving it to a new 
space. I’ve found a mini walk-in room that’s in our budget, but it 
automatically defrosts, raising the air temperature to about -15C every 6 
hours. The company has told me that items stored in it only warm up about 2 or 
3 degrees during the defrost (from -20C) but this still makes me concerned 
about its pest killing abilities. Am I right to be concerned about that, or 
will it be effective in treating collections materials for pests?
 
Thanks,

Hi Annie,
The freezer will work fine with that defrost cycle to kill insects. Your
objects will not re-warm as fast as the cycle, it will just stall cooling
down of the outer packaging and surface a bit depending on the duration of
the cycle, so it will be quite effective. It is better to have an efficient
and  'healthy' freezer with little load of frost inside the system in case
of power outage, which is of course one of the reasons the plastic bag is
placed around the objects for the treatment.

Sincerely,

From the stains at the bottom of the white cardboard, it appears to be
an old DDVP (Vapona) resin strip in an enclosure.  It's very old and no

No matter the specie of insect you found in your collections, you could 
proceed to drastic disinfestation of the the object by means of Anoxia 
methodology that can be easily (in situ) applied by means of VELOXY 
(VEry Low OXYgen) apparatus developed and certified by RGI Resource 
Group Integrator of Genova (Italy) through an European project to which 
Spain, England Sweden and Italy pariticipated successfully. it is a not 
expensive, safe for health , reliable and easy to be applied 
methodology.
Few weeks of anoxia will eradicate any specie of infestant 
insect at any stage of its life.
Please tahe a look to RGI web Site www.

I've seen many fungus 
beetle infestations because after the roof leak 
repairs (or plumbing, 
seepage, etc.) the landlord is so quick to seal up 
the wall and paint 
that the moisture and mold growth is still going 
strong; consequently, 
the beetle population continues.

Patty -

I agree with David Piniger - it's most likely some sort of fungus beetle.  If 
you have lots of them trapped on glueboards, there may be a current or past 
roof leak.  I had a situation in an art museum with thousands of them.  The 
roof leaks were "repaired", but the beetles kept coming.  Hope you just had a 
few.

Actually the family name has been revised to Latridiid (only a letter). 
Doesn't look like the typical, common plaster beetle species that people
often drop off for me to look at.  Let me try & see which one it could be.

Probably a Lathridiid minute scavenger beetle [or plaster beetle in the UK]. 
They live on microscopic mould. 
There are 100s of species.  See Richard Gorham's excellent USDA book "Insect 
and Mite pests in food"
One or two is OK, but if you find a lot, that indicates a damp problem.

  We are finding these in traps in one Historic House. Tick marks on the side 
are .1 mm. Very tiny. Any suggestions as to who they might be?

Hello Patty,

My entomologist suggests a psocoptera and says to check your books as that
is what they like to eat.

Dear Anne,
 
Insect growth regulators (Gentrol, Nyguard, etc.) will work well if you can 
apply them in a close proximity to the source of the infestation. If the 
infestation is not coming from collection pieces, I have often found the food 
source 
to be a build up of dead insects or a dead rodent/bird within a wall void. 
When this is the case, an IGR application to the wall void has worked very 
well. 
For Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, most adult beetle activity in 
North America occurs in the spring season. A sex pheromone trap at this time of 
year will yield little information about where the source may be coming from. 
Dermestid larval monitors placed strategically about will give you better 
information. If you pick up larvae in the monitors, you know that you have an 
infestation source relatively close by.

RE: [pestlist] ID Help Needed

[Watts, Angela B]

Hello Anne,

 

I don't have any information on Gentrol, so I can't speak to that, but
we have found several carpet beetles in one of our collections areas,
and we have opted against using any chemical means of control.  We are
using sticky traps, HEPA filtered vacuums, clean storage materials, and
gasket-sealed cabinets to control insects in storage, and using freezer
treatments for infested objects.  There are many differing opinions on
using pheromone lures at all (we don't use any), but if you know that it
was a migrant from another space, I would avoid using lures, which would
attract even more migrants out of the gallery and into your collections
space.

 

Sincerely, 

 

Angela Watts
