To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Dr. Rauf - The use of Imidachloprid, known as Premise in the U.S., is a termiticide for use by professional pest management firms only. 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.

Dr Rauf,
There are no chemicals that repel lizards that are safe to use in
collections (or around humans, for that matter). The lizards are on the walls
because they are eating the insects they find on the walls so rather than
trying to get rid of the lizards, you should focus on getting rid of their food
supply. If the lizards have no insects to feed on, they will move somewhere
else.
On the positive side, the lizards are probably eating some collection
pests; on the negative side, the lizard fecal matter and shed skin may attract
more pests.
Often lizards are found on walls because lights on the walls attract
insects (I have seen this often in Thailand). If you can reposition lights so
that they are not attached to the walls it will reduce the amount of insects on
the walls and thus make them less attractive for the lizards. Place the lights
so that they are not attached to the wall, but shine on the wall--this way, the
insects will be attracted to the light source rather than the wall surface.
If it is necessary to remove the lizards from the walls, you can use flat
sticky traps to catch the lizards by attaching the traps to the walls where the
lizards crawl. The lizards can either be humanely euthanized when they are
caught in the traps, or removed from the sticky traps by using vegetable oil.
However, unless you can seal the building and/or eliminate the insects the
lizards are feeding on, they will return.

Subject: [pestlist] removing sticky traps from a silk object
Dear Pestlist:
A mishap in de-installation opened and attached the adhesive of a
Victor roach trap to a silk book cover. I know from personal experience that
this adhesive is quite sticky and difficult to remove from anything. Does
anyone has experience removing a sticky trap from a textile? If it was silk
that is great but other textiles would be enlightening as well. I will be
performing mock-ups and I can share the information with everyone on the
website if you are interested.
Thanks,
Rose

[pestlist] About Lizards
Dear Dr. John,
Your writeup is really helpful for me. I shall try to place the lights little
away from wall, not directly attaching. Still the insects will come as the
surrounding areas have vegetation and gardens. Are there any spcial type of
Lights that do not attract insects? In India people are treating Lizards as a
pest.
Hope to receive your reply.

Dr Rauf,
There are no chemicals that repel lizards that are safe to use in collections
(or around humans, for that matter). The lizards are on the walls because they
are eating the insects they find on the walls so rather than trying to get rid
of the lizards, you should focus on getting rid of their food supply. If the
lizards have no insects to feed on, they will move somewhere else.
On the positive side, the lizards are probably eating some collection pests;
on the negative side, the lizard fecal matter and shed skin may attract more
pests.
Often lizards are found on walls because lights on the walls attract insects
(I have seen this often in Thailand). If you can reposition lights so that
they are not attached to the walls it will reduce the amount of insects on the
walls and thus make them less attractive for the lizards. Place the lights so
that they are not attached to the wall, but shine on the wall--this way, the
insects will be attracted to the light source rather than the wall surface.
If it is necessary to remove the lizards from the walls, you can use flat
sticky traps to catch the lizards by attaching the traps to the walls where the
lizards crawl. The lizards can either be humanely euthanized when they are
caught in the traps, or removed from the sticky traps by using vegetable oil.
However, unless you can seal the building and/or eliminate the insects the
lizards are feeding on, they will return.

Rose,
Our pest guy removes little lizards (live) from the traps using vegetable
oil…not so good for silk, but maybe a starting point.

[pestlist] Carpet Beetles
This is a message from the Pest Management Database List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Good Morning. Would someone please suggest some preventive carpet beetle treatment. Is there some insecticidal treatment that can be rendered before the carpets are fixed to the ground? Thanks. Dr. Abdul Rauf Truly Pest Solution Pvt. Ltd. 1113 Hemkunt Tower, 98 Nehru Place, New Delhi 110019 India 00 91 9717017223 -- My museum has been battling an ongoing varied carpet beetle infestation for one year now. After failed attempts at controlling the infestation through housekeeping, removal of drapes and textiles, placement of pheromone lures, and increased exterior spraying, we will be chemically treating the entire interior of the building, which is our last resort. While I am confident this will eliminate the current infestation, the staff and I are concerned about future problems with varied carpet beetles as we cannot continue to allocate the financial resources necessary to treat the building again. Can anyone offer some suggestions on non-chemical preventative measures to prevent future infestation?
