Eric and Pat,
Thanks for looking into this and being willing to share information. This
tool seems like it offers such an incredible upgrade as compared to the
"purple/pink eyes" when looking to gain oxygen level clarity/certainty
during treatments. It will be interesting to see what the tests s
As a distributor of Hanwell's Anoxibug products, Insects Limited has supplied
Eric with some Anoxibug Indicators to assist in gathering data about the O2
levels that the indicator turns from red to green. We will wait to hear how
that testing goes.

Just a house centipede. A predator, but not of people ☺ Anything in large
numbers dying within a space whether in a trap or not can provide food for
other pests, especially dermestids.

Hi Todd,
My experience with O2 sensors was never buy them from online auction and
shopping websites for its lower value. Always go to a trusted company to get
sensors. We have to get a Teledyne sensor for our O2 meter (can’t remember the
brand) and the one I got through ebay was old and not wor
Regarding the Anoxibug, I have a new sensor and a couple that range in age from
about 6-12 months old (stored oxygen free) that will be tested against
calibrated Systech Illinois systems sensors at a range of calibrations (0.2,
0.1, and 0.01% O2) on the 28th of October. If you have sensors (ano
Hello Everyone,
Speaking of anoxic treatments...
I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with Hanwell's
"AnoxiBug" unit.

I have seen differing opinions online regarding when the O2 indicator light
switches. I have seen fig
Hi Joel,
I’m hoping my reply will spur some additional responses from the list. 😊
It looks pretty dark for a Tineola bisselliella (Webbing clothes moth) but it
seems to have similar features. I think the Brown House Moth has more spots,
but if not it may be a good match?
I hope it is nothing t
Kelvin,
sorry for my critical demand, but from where do you take the dates “8 days with
0.3% O2 and 25°C”? Which literature or practical experience?
I think, this is definitely to short for many insect pests, like the larvae of
the webbing cloth moth or the furniture beetle especially inside cl
Amanda,
For Argon treatment see:
http://museumpests.net/solutions-nitrogenargon-gas-treatment/ = Nitrogen
(N2) and argon (Ar) gas used in controlled atmospheres are effective in causing
insect death within 2-6 weeks
The treatment time of 2-6 weeks depends on the temperature you have. So
Hi Amanda,
Oh yes – very familiar with red-legged ham beetles!
I would agree that the times are too short. Either anoxic or freezing (-20 deg
C) will be successful, but should be longer. I would freeze (double bag,-20
degree C) for a minimum of a week, preferably two, to be on the safe side.
I am curious if others have come across the red-legged ham beetle (Necrobia
rufipes) and can share the appropriate course of treatment. At the moment,
our pest management provider has recommended two courses of action: argon
treatment for at least 24 hours, or freezing for at least 48 hours. Both
