What about cutting them grapes and tomatoes in half before placing them out? Then they would not roll??? I would do a “test” on berries to see which ones really roll? Just a thought. JTV Joel Voron Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Conservation Dept. Integrated Pest Management

Hello, Our events team is in the process of updating the museum's catering RFP guidelines. The current guidelines do not permit "rolling foods" such as grapes, berries, and cherry tomatoes, as we believe these foods become an IPM concern if they make their way into a crevice or under a permanen

Hi Amy, That will depend on your environment and use. IF you are in an area that is high humidity it will be more often. I have a chest freezer that is not seeing a lot of action right now. It has been over 2 years since I defrosted because I do not need to open it often. It probably needs i

When selecting a freezer, it should be capable of reaching and maintaining minus 20 degrees F.  It should also be a chest type freezer.  When opened, it will not lose it's temperature as would an upright freezer.Tom Parker In a message dated 1/30/2020 6:47:15 AM Eastern Standard Time, pestlist@g
