Subject: [PestList] Beetle on Wood Plow

Hello, pest experts!
This beetle is unlike anything I have seen in the museum. We are in Northern 
California. This beetle was upside down in a crevice of a wood plow from 
Mexico. It is about a centimeter long.
Thank you for your help identifying it.

Hello all -
We have a number of insects this month that I can't identify.  All the traps 
are from our basement storage areas, where we did have flooding a few months 
ago.  Since then we've also had a significant increase in psocidsl, so I'm 
worried too if these are related to a damp/mold issue that has persisted since 
the flood clean up.

There is an unknown larvae, some what appear to be mites (?) that we found on 
several traps, along with some winged insects that I can't ID.  We have a fancy 
new microscope so I also attached my favorite spider picture from this month's 
IPM.

Many, many thanks!

Christina

W Virginia seems to have a Bug ID Lab. I took advantage of the lab in Virginia
and it was terrifically helpful, though a week turnaround to ID from the sent
bug.
Helpful regional info though.

Hi Everyone,

We have been finding several of these critters on this month’s traps around our
facility in West Virginia. I wouldn’t be too concerned if we were only finding
them on traps adjacent to exterior doors, but the one in the photo was
discovered in a collection space that (in theory) is sealed better.

It is 1cm long.

Any guesses? Turns out, a google search of “tiny black caterpillar that isn’t
fuzzy” doesn’t help very much…. (Is it even a caterpillar?! Sorry for the
general non-entomologist term!)

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a sucker for FAIC’s “Connecting to Collections Care” website. Most of their 
webinars are free, and there are a TON. Here’s the introductory IPM webinar: 
https://www.connectingtocollections.org/ipmpart1/<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.connectingtocollections.org%2fipmpart1%2f&c=E,1,QoH_tS_BDMrW-Hbj8yuSJZayhCQ4owQh9O80aXw6BaCPVrOUkAuVG44BVSN8qagwAY-drpMMVBcq4Sviqug_TH3snfWBPq7qoEl2eJ-cJZuOnCk,&typo=1>

There’s a second part, and I think there are other webinars available for IPM 
as well. You can search their resources page for whatever topic you want: 
https://www.connectingtocollections.org/resources/<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.connectingtocollections.org%2fresources%2f&c=E,1,t26V0zFaY7mwl-kLSkJGYxT5w6kEMOvE4WAYwblBwGd_6SKTjLZwRS9UlaRMxYRR87Vb37C0YX0tzn3FjbUWX3N-_dHrO67YbgNbTQiHsK9KJCRgs94jrkmzvQ,,&typo=1>
 (just select “webinar” in “Resource Type” and have at it).

Hope this helps!

Re: [PestList] Door Sweep Recommendations

We anticipate installing sweeps in the very near future and these have been 
recommended. I’d be interested if anyone has insights or experience with them.

We have interior doors that appear to be hollow and filled with Styrofoam 
beadboard.  For a time we had mice getting into these and shredding the 
Styrofoam, presumably to make nests.  I’m glad  to say that since we managed to 
exclude mice from the building, this problem has gone away.  No-pne wanted to 
dismount the (large) doors to put metal plates on the bottom…..

Dan,

For hollow doors that are on the interior of a building that is under 
temperature control, then there would seem little value to weep holes. In those 
cases, the holes can be blocked. A small square of aluminum flashing, held in 
place with an appropriate adhesive (I like silicone) works wonders. If you’re 
able to get your fingers under the door easily, then the repair is simple. 
Sometimes, the doors need to be removed from their hinges. That’s best left to 
locksmiths or other door repair folks.

If the door is in an area that suffers from temperature and humidity 
fluctuations (as with an exterior door), then consider a metal mesh. I’d select 
something that is not oxidizing. Stainless steel hardware cloth works well. 
Xcluder fabric will breath and allow water to pass, but it would be difficult 
to secure it in place.

I recommend that all doors be inspected and modified prior to installation. It 
is far more costly and difficult to mitigate after the doors have become mouse 
condos.

In any case, be sure that any modifications do not compromise the fire rating 
of the door. If in doubt, ask someone skilled in that arena.

Those holes are sometimes weep holes, but other times they’re formed into the

Our museum is located right beside an active airport for small aircraft - and

frequency they use lower frequency "booms"  -  might not be super practical for

Hi folks

Since Covid, we are having serious problems with seagulls and pigeons settling 
on the Great Court glass roof (see image of aerial view) and making a hell of a 
mess. It has been suggested that the birds see it as a ‘lake’ and we have never 
had success with things like shock systems or brining a hawk around the site

Our pest control company has recommended high frequency acoustic scarers

I don’t have any experience of them so have any of you used them and is it 
worth the investment?

Many thanks

Re: [External Email] [PestList] Monitoring frequency

2020-07-22 Thread Casey Mallinckrodt

I walk through our storage areas and other areas with blunder traps once every 
two weeks. If there is a specific concern I check traps weekly, or in the case 
of an installation of potted plants (against my recommendation) I checked traps 
daily. These were removed during hours the museum was open to the public- pre 
Covid 19.

Heather,

You’re not alone. What I commonly hear from both pest management professionals 
and their commercial clients is that convincing higher-ups to spend the money 
or time on the necessary structural repairs, design modifications, and 
environmental controls is one of the biggest challenges in managing pests, and 
one of the most common reasons for continual pest problems.

Hello,

Our answer is based on the project we’ve made of our IPM. There had never been 
any bug data collection/IPM prior to this. And we were flatly told there was no 
bug problem…nice try.

Over the course of 2019, we (the preservation department) checked over 100 
traps weekly for the sole purpose of data gathering. In 2020, we moved to 
monthly as the solutions haven’t been applied yet. I want us to have solutions 
in place and to have been shown as effective before we move to quarterly. But 
quarterly is the goal.

I’m trying to use the data to convince the higher ups that we need better 
environmental controls. In this time of budget constraints, that might not be 
an option.

Are you doing it weekly, monthly or maybe just every 3 months (because of

[PestList] Re: Risk of flower displays

2020-07-07 Thread Casey Mallinckrodt

Hello All.
This has been a fraught question at the Wadsworth Atheneum and focused on a 
curatorial [request] to install live plants to compliment an exhibit. I agreed 
with stipulations --the plants very carefully sourced and quarantined for a 
month before installing, and insect-specific traps installed with the plants 
and some removed during public hours. Nits and drain flies appeared immediately 
then Covid closed the museum and I was no longer able to examine the plants 
though was told they were removed.

A long standing flower committee is asked to comply with basic constraints: no 
containers that could house insects, only florist specific cut plants and 
foliage, daily monitoring, regular turn-over, and no flowers in gallery spaces. 
Potted plants are not allowed. I have not observed any insects to date.

In addition to the information in this very helpful thread I'd like lo know how 
museums with installations of plants manage this. The Wadsworth does not have a 
horticulturalist or gardener on staff so conservation oversees.

I'm grateful  to have missed the 1960's one-day installation of ducks in the 
interior pool (now empty of water).

Hi Mike,



in addition to Tony and Richard, i would say the same. This depends of the 
building and the objects of the exhibition and should be considered with a risk 
management according to IPM.

For example:  Domestic cut flowers during the wintertime, should have not 
Anthrenus beetles on the flowers. So the risk is higher during spring or 
summertime to get a problem.

I think you may find some written information for your statement in one of 
different IPM-handbooks, MuseumPests.com or proceedings of IPM-conferences like 
London, Vienna, Paris or Stockholm.

Hi All,



Currently we have a discussion within our team about cut flowers on display in,

never had any problems, until a week ago. A bug crawled away from one of the 
bouquets, but we could not catch it. The question is; what is the risk level of 
pests on flower display. One side thinks the risk is negligible low, the other 
side would like to replace the flowers with something non organic. I cannot 
find any examples or studies to make a substantiated statement about either 
side. Can somebody help?

Re: [PestList] Risk of flower displays

I think one should consider the composition of the collection and exhibits. If 
those items are composed of rocks and minerals, metal or stone sculptures, 
computer terminals, or diverse other inorganic materials, then the risks to 
those objects would be vanishingly tiny. So, enjoy the live or cut flowers. 
But, if your displays are of paintings, fabrics, wood artifacts and other 
organically-based materials, then forego the natural floral arrangements and 
opt instead for displays of artificial or virtual flowers. You can even adorn 
these with plastic or glass insects for a more complete and life-like 
arrangement.

Mike,

This may or may not be helpful, but in our herbarium we do not allow living 
material to be brought into the main collection as a measure to prevent any 
potential pests from entering that way.

Hi All,

Currently we have a discussion within our team about cut flowers on display in, 
and near our exhibition halls. There have been flowers there for a while and we 
never had any problems, until a week ago. A bug crawled away from one of the 
bouquets, but we could not catch it. The question is; what is the risk level of 
pests on flower display. One side thinks the risk is negligible low, the other 
side would like to replace the flowers with something non organic. I cannot 
find any examples or studies to make a substantiated statement about either 
side. Can somebody help?

With thanks for any advice you can offer,
