Dear all I absolutely concur that this is a great database and has many features which capture data, flag up concerns and the work these guys are doing also is to how to present IPM data. We have experimented in the past with Access but again this is complex (and costly ) software Bear in mind also that Open office will take excel data Adie

The paper will be published in September as far as I am aware, but our template spreadsheet is already live and available for to download for free on this permalink https://museum.wales/media/45874/Pest-Record-Datasheets-NMC-Template-2018.xlsx. The reason why we chose Excel as a vehicle for this is because Excel is widely available and does not incur any additional cost, such as specialised software like ZPest etc would, and also allows people with restrictive IT policies to access a dedicated yet easily modifiable programme for recording and analysing complex pest monitoring data. Caroline asked a question about the number of traps per room – of course the size of the room monitored and the number of traps deployed affects the number of pests caught but is not considered sufficiently during most monitoring programmes. Our template datasheet with embedded calculations does account specifically for this, allowing meaningful comparisons of pest activity between rooms, buildings and sites with different numbers of pest monitors and rooms/buildings of different size and use. Adrian talked about conditional formatting – this is an invaluable tool and our database template does that, too, in order to highlight areas of increased pest activity (using a simple traffic light colour coding system).

We initially used a basic Google spreadsheet, but as data is coming in every week, the spreadsheet isn't as wonderful an option as I initially thought mainly due to it's size. A program that might help us identify trends would be ideal, but as of now, the spreadsheet is so unwieldy that that process will be incredibly time consuming. Do any of you use or know of other options we might use to track our creepy crawlies?
