Yes, you are correct. Book lice. Environmental issues and it is helpful to control humidity levels.

I work at small cultural center/museum in Oklahoma part of my job is to check pest traps. I have had classes in entomology but it has been a long time so I do not remember everything. On Tuesday I found several of these insects in a sticky trap. My first thought was booklice. They looked like the pictures that I found on online. If they are booklice can someone give me tips on controlling them and eliminating them. I know I need to control the humidity and get artifacts off the bottom shelves but what else can I do and have others that work with the Archives do? I have attached some pictures of them. They are not that great of pictures hopefully someone will be able to identify them. We do not have a camera that will hook up to dissection microscope. Thanks for any help, Adrienne Dastgir Conservation Technician ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list send an email to imail...@museumpests.net<mailto:imail...@museumpests.net> and in the body put: "unsubscribe pestlist" Any problems email l...@zaks.com<mailto:l...@zaks.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list send an email to imail...@museumpests.net and in the body put: "unsubscribe pestlist" Any problems email l...@zaks.com
