RE: [EXTERNAL] [PestList] nibbled pages in a ledger

['Bacharach, Joan' via MuseumPests]

Hello Nancy;

Please check out the National Park Service Conserve O Gram [COG] on identifying 
mouse and rat damage in museum collections at  3/12-COG-Rodent-Damage.pdf 
(nps.gov)
 and COG 3/11: Identifying Museum Insect Pest Damage 
(nps.gov).  
These two COGs include illustrations of damage that help with identifying the 
pests that cause the damage.

You might also take a look at the COG 2/ 8: Hantavirus Disease Health and 
Safety Update 
(nps.gov) that 
provides information on this rare but serious respiratory virus transmitted by 
mice and rats.

Best,
Joan

Can I suggest that those willing to share their policies do so to this group 
email or directly with Rachael Arenstein indicating that it's okay to put them 
on the website as a way to update the information that's on the site?  It's 
something that can happen at the next Museum Pest working group meeting,

Subject: [PestList] IPM Policies and Procedures

Hello,

My institution is working on refining our IPM policies and procedures, and I 
was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their IPM policies/procedures 
with us. The MuseumPests website has been a great starting point, but many of 
those are a decade old or more. With how fast and often IPM evolves, I wanted 
to look at more recent documents to make sure we don't miss anything.

I would especially be interested in any natural history museum's policies, but 
any documents would be of great help.

Please send your documents to lrestem...@hmns.org - 
any documents sent will be kept in confidence.

Thank you,

Hi Joan,

We have been using a Liebherr upright freezer (modell GGPv 6570-43) over years 
for IPM purpose.
It maintains a constant temperature of -20°C and is made entirely of stainless 
steel.

I can't say for sure if it's good enough for storing photos and films, but I 
think it is.

Hello Joel,

Our staff recently experimented with outdoor freezing. This occurred in 
south-central Wisconsin in late May to mid-June, with outdoor temperatures 
exceeding 90 F on some days. We had a high volume of large objects (furniture 
size) that needed immediate treatment, so we rented a large freezer semitrailer 
and parked it on our grounds for a month (padlocked, refueled several times—no 
electricity needed). The trailer maintained temperatures between roughly -12 
and -23, which we confirmed with two Bluetooth HOBO monitors. Despite being 
parked in full sunlight, the trailer was able to cool down to those temps very 
quickly, and then acclimated to ambient temperatures gradually enough upon 
treatment completion so as not to damage artifacts.

To answer your question, I think your plan is feasible with the right budget. 
Free-standing outdoor freezer units are out there in the market. (EX:

Hi,
For a recent exhibition where there would be raw wood items (dugout canoe and 
support blocks) that had been sitting outside we used one.
We rented an 8 x 20' Walk in and had it parked at our loading dock. We had a 
padlock on the door and we have rotating Security.  It was in the hot sun on 
concrete and it worked very well, though I think shade would be beneficial.
We had a Bluetooth thermometer inside to monitor so we didn’t have to open all 
the time to check.  Maybe you could slowly raise the temp of the freezer until 
it reaches Gallery temp?
You need to have an electrical source that it powerful enough. Our electricians 
were able to put in a new breaker for it.

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!

Thank you so much,

https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/MHI/CHAP5.pdf

  2.  NPS Conserve O Gram technical leaflets 
https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/cons_toc.html

Damage

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for introduction to IPM for Museums course 
that are online?

I am looking for something aimed at conservators/people with a background of 
working in collections, with a focus on identifying infestations in collection 
material. I want to give conservation staff conducting gallery checks a 
background in looking out for the signs that a specimen/object is infested.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi All!
Do you have clear, relatively high-res close-up images of mouse, rat, and/or 
cockroach droppings that you would allow to be published for educational 
purposes? If so, I want ‘em!

Bonus points if there is a scale of some sort (from something official-looking 
to something ubiquitous, like a dime or pencil). Double bonus points if you 
have clear images of all three, all with scale.

What’cha got?? Feel free to reply directly to me. Not sure everyone on the list 
wants poop pics/fecal footage/droppings drama…
