[PestList] Re: beetle ID

2022-06-22 Thread Louis N Sorkin 
Looks like black carpet beetle rather than black larder beetle. Dermestes ater 
has a wider posterior curvature of the pronotum than either Attagenus brunneus 
or Attagenus unicolor. Also head, antennae and eyes differ.

Hi all!



I’m hoping for some assistance with this beetle ID. Is it a black larder beetle?



Best wishes,

Abbie

RE: [EXTERNAL] [PestList] Monitoring figures

2022-06-22 Thread 'Bacharach, Joan' via MuseumPests 
Hello Alexandra;

Please do take a look at the "action thresholds" for different museum pests in 
the US National Park Service Museum Handbook, Part I, Chapter 5: Biological 
Infestations at https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/MHI/CHAP5.pdf

The chapter includes sample actions plans, information on inspection, 
monitoring, control actions, identification of museum pests, as well as a 
sample IPM plan and other sample forms that may be of use.

Best
Joan

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,
