Thanks for mail. It will be really helpful to me at this stage.. Regards. Dr. Abdul Rauf From: ad...@museumpests.net [mailto:ad...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of bugma...@aol.com Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2012 4:16 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: Re: [pestlist] IPM in Library This is a message from the Museumpests List.

In order to control subterranean termites, it is injected or trenched and flooded into the soil. It can be used on the exterior and interior of a building, depending on the source of the termites. It is NOT simply a spray, which can be used by a lay person; it must be placed in the soil where the termites originate. A better choice, if it's available in India, would be fipronil, known as Termidor in the U.S. It is much less water soluble and will therefore have a longer residual life in the soil. Again, both of these termiticides should only be applied by a professional. As far as insects damaging to library materials and manuscripts in old libraries, I have found the following to be problems: bookworms (beetles, such as Anobium, Stegobium, and Lasioderma), silverfish, booklice (Psocidae), American cockroaches, and sometimes certain species of carpet beetles to be the primary pests. Of course, mice and rats can also chew up paper-based materials.

Imidachoprid is illegal to be used in certain countries. It would also be helpful to know its location to determine which pests might be involved.

It has a vast collection and manuscript divisioin containing very old collections. We would like to know the follwoing: * What are the major insect pest inside old libraries? * For termite infestation in wooden panels and cabinets, can we use Imidacloprid 30.5%SC formulation inside the library. It is used after mixing with water. It will certainly increase the relative humidity. * What are the preventive IPM Measure to be taken there? Regards.
