Dear pest list, I recently asked for a list of the fumigants that are intended for use at the museum soon, and one of them said *"Cry" proteins / endotoxins* and in the description it said something like (I translate roughly from Spanish): *Spores and endogenous toxins of transconjugated Bacillus thuriengiensis. Varieties: tenebrionis, aisawai, kurstaki and israelensis. *
I did a quick Google search and it seems to be used by organic farmers for specific caterpillars and flies, but I was wondering if any of you have experience with this in a museum context? I expect they'll just be spraying the wall edges or something like that. Is it worth letting them just use it or is there any particular reason why it might be a good idea if we didn't?
