[pestlist] Fwd: SPNHC Food Management in Institutions survey-reminder
This is a message from the Museumpests 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. --- Dear all, Firstly, thank you to those who have already completed our survey regarding ‘Food Management in Institutions’. We’ve had 230 responses which is amazing so thank you! If you have not yet filled it out (or have started but not completed it) please do not delay, your input is crucial to the success of this project. Please feel free to forward it to anyone you think might have an interest in the project, we are eager to reach as many institutions as possible. The deadline is June 1 st 2014. The survey can be found at: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1552943/SPNHC-Survey-Food-in-Institutions As we are also trying to reach a more international audience, we would appreciate it if you could please forward to me the names of any other international groups for Museums, Libraries or Archives, or Conservators, Curators and Registrars. Even groups for those in private practice. We’re keen to get further involvement from Europe, Asia and Australia. Any recommendations or ideas can be sent to ‘ bgpalu...@hotmail.co.uk ’. With many thanks, Bethany Palumbo and Rebecca Newberry (on behalf of the SPNHC Conservation Committee) Rebecca Newberry Conservator Science Museum of Minnesota 120 W. Kellogg Bl.

From staff members’ brown bag lunches to the cafeteria to a catered donor event, food service is a necessity in modern museums and institutions. At the most basic level, food vendors feed visitors and generate revenue. A strong partnership between museums and food vendors nourishes people and the delivery of the museum’s mission. The focus on healthy, sustainable nutrition also fits well into the educational mission of the museum field. On the other hand, the presence of food in the museum presents a challenge to the long-term preservation of museum collections. The risk of pest infestation and soiling of collections is real. Incorrect disposal of food waste and insufficient house-keeping both contribute to pest infestation while food and beverages carried through areas with collections can spill and soil objects, causing damage which may not be reversible. On behalf of the SPNHC Conservation Committee, we feel that there is currently a lack of documented recommendations in regards to food management within museums. Through international collaboration, we hope to create a set of guidelines that institutions can use to protect vulnerable collections while supporting food services. We have put together a questionnaire (with many thanks to Cathy Hawks) to help us gauge an understanding of the current condition of food management within museums and institutions on an international scale. We would be extremely grateful if you could fill out the following questionnaire before June 1st 2014 . Your input is integral to the success of this project.

To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Hello, I am the manager of a collection of about 10,000 pieces of vintage clothing (mostly wool and fur/leather) that are infested with moths. I am looking into the possibility of a low temperature treatment (freezing) of the collection in the NYC area. Freezing the collection will definitely be time consuming and expensive, although I believe it is possible. That said, it is a "working" collection, meaning the vintage is used as reference material and in heavy circulation (like a library book); e.g. constantly being handled by people all day without gloves. Because so many people rely on it on a daily basis, I am getting pressure from above to fumigate the entire thing. The fumigant the exterminator would like to use is Vikane, and then they would like to clean the entire collection room with Talstar P. My questions to you all are: · Will Vikane cause damage or change the appearance of the collection? (I know that it likely will, especially because of the wool, but wanted to double check) · Is it safe to fumigate the clothing with Vikane and then return the items to immediate handling by people? · Is it safe for me to be handling a collection on a daily basis (50 hrs/week) that has been fumigated with Vikane? · Is Talstar P a good choice for cleaning the shelving, walls, nooks and crannies with? · Is it safe for me to be confined in a room with poor ventilation that has just been treated with Talstar P? I have read the MSDS sheets for the chemicals and the JAIC article about Vikane from 1990, but still feel uneasy about the toxicity of the fumigants/pesticides that they would like to use. I want to be armed with as much information as possible to make this decision. I know this is a lot to ask all at once, and thank you all in advance for any advice you can offer.

Re: [pestlist] Treatment for bedbugs found in bound materials
I asked my pest control contractor (who could finance a vacation home with all of the bed bug work he's been doing) about bed bugs and books. He's heard anecdotal evidence of bed bugs harboring and laying eggs in books found near beds. For example, if there is a bookshelf located in a bedroom and the infestation is heavy, the bedbugs may find their way to the books. The chance of circulating library books becoming infested would be less likely since they don't spend a long time in anyone's house. He's a fan of heat treatments as well. They heat to 140F, aiming to ensure that the materials will heat to 120F at their core. His company, Adam's Pest Control, has portable heaters and generators and is capable of treating whole buildings. There may be something similar in your area.

We haven’t had any confirmed sightings yet in materials, but considering our State-wide problem I fear it is just a matter of time. I've seen plenty of good information related to facilities, but not a lot related to caring for books that have been affected. The most common quick quip is that they should be "cooked" at temperatures around 140 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours. I've not seen any indication what they are being cooked in. There is a device called Packtite that gets some mention on blogs, but not on any conservation/preservation sites. NEDCC, LOC, and Lyrasis sites don't have anything yet either. From what I’ve read freezing apparently doesn’t kill the egg stage. My concern right now is the general circulating collection, so freezing might be the only option for rare/unique materials…. Has your institution started tackling this question? Any help would be appreciated!
