Hi all, We’re looking into this as a possible preventive approach to reducing moth numbers in our storage facility. Currently I can only find Trichogramma pretiosum available commercially in Australia, does anyone have any experience using this species? They’ve been used successfully in controlling agricultural pests here but unsure if they’ve been trialled in museum environments.
And any tips/tricks on application approach (i.e. releasing a certain amount every week/fortnight/month ongoing or for a specific period of time) would be really appreciated as well. Thanks!

Dead wasps with a size of 0,3-0,4mm could cleaned away afterwards. 1000 Trichogramma wasps (dried) have a weight about 0,002 g.

Februar 2021 22:29 An: pestlist@googlegroups.com Betreff: Re: [PestList] Trichogramma Wasps Greetings, With both methods, what would leave less biological waste behind (since death moths are food sources for living pests)? And would the Trichogramma wasps die off after the target pest is eliminated, or could they find another food source and create their own infestation? Thank you, Michael R.

I am skeptical however of the other strategy they mention in using pheromone as an effective means of interrupting reproduction by confusing the males. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
