Good morning Ann,

I would be happy to share my experience. I will check with my client to see if 
she would like tobadd anything. It's been a few years so that gives me a reason 
to ask for an update!

I am working full time and reaching a Wednesday evening course. Is it ok if I 
get back to you at the weekend?

Sincerely,

Jane, I have been interested in using these wasps for moth infestation 
treatments in the past. Unfortunately, I was informed that if you don't place 
them near the infestation site, they will not find the moth eggs. Now maybe 
this was one person's experience, but I was hoping you could briefly describe 
how you used them and how effective they were.

Best Ann

Good evening Adam (and everyone else who replied),

Apologies if I misunderstood the question but I have used Trichogramma 
parasitoids to effectively control a webbing clothes moth infestation in a 
museum that was infested by an adjacent business in the same building. I 
purchased the eggs from a Canadian supplier who supplies them to museums and 
libraries specifically for use against Tinea pellionella and "other species of 
clothes moth". In this case, and luckily for me, the "other" target moth 
species appeared to include Tineola bisselliella.

The company is Anatis Bioprotection and the info on Trichogramma is found at 
https://anatisbioprotection.com/en/produit/tricho-mite/. They sell and ship to 
the US. Cost is reasonable, as I recall, though that was a few years ago.

I hope this information helps anyone who is struggling with a moth infestation. 
Please feel free to ignore it if it doesn't.

Sincerely,

Jane

Many thanks for this Jane. To clarify, my understanding (which may be wrong!) 
is that parasitoids of the Trichogramma genus are available for agriculture and 
other pests but the correct species of Trichogramma which target Webbing 
clothes moths may not be available in the US. If you or anyone has 
clarification on this it would be greatly appreciated!



Best,



Adam

Good morning Adam,



Trichogramma wasps are used as pest control in greenhouses.  If you search 
online for Trichogramma wasps suppliers USA you should find several options.

Hi Katherine,



My understanding is that Trichogramma wasps are not available for use in the 
US. If you discover otherwise or find a working alternative, please share!

Betreff: [PestList] Parasitic wasps as treatment



Good morning,



I'm curious if anyone has experience using parasitic wasps to treat clothes 
moth infestations in a museum setting. I recall such a treatment was used at 
Blickling Hall several years ago, but I don't remember if there was any 
follow-up. I'd be interested to know if others have used a similar treatment 
before or since and if it was effective.



Thank you in advance for your feedback!



Best,



Katherine
