Re: [pestlist] ID Help Needed
Dear Anne, Insect growth regulators (Gentrol, Nyguard, etc.) will work well if you can apply them in a close proximity to the source of the infestation. If the infestation is not coming from collection pieces, I have often found the food source to be a build up of dead insects or a dead rodent/bird within a wall void. When this is the case, an IGR application to the wall void has worked very well. For Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, most adult beetle activity in North America occurs in the spring season. A sex pheromone trap at this time of year will yield little information about where the source may be coming from. Dermestid larval monitors placed strategically about will give you better information. If you pick up larvae in the monitors, you know that you have an infestation source relatively close by.

RE: [pestlist] ID Help Needed
Hello Anne, I don't have any information on Gentrol, so I can't speak to that, but we have found several carpet beetles in one of our collections areas, and we have opted against using any chemical means of control. We are using sticky traps, HEPA filtered vacuums, clean storage materials, and gasket-sealed cabinets to control insects in storage, and using freezer treatments for infested objects. There are many differing opinions on using pheromone lures at all (we don't use any), but if you know that it was a migrant from another space, I would avoid using lures, which would attract even more migrants out of the gallery and into your collections space.
