And depending on the amount of material you need to store you could just
encapsulate the trays/boxes in barrier film pouches with oxygen scavenger.

Hi Tara
I’m not familiar with any bugs eating the pollen. You may get psocids (book
lice) feeding on mould and damaging the pollen, but otherwise it’s normally
the leaves, etc., that are attacked.
Aside from the possibility of the pollen attracting bugs (e.g. releasing
pheromones to attract insects
Hi Alex,
I am preparing an IPM plan for an archaeological collection with pollen
specimens in storage. I am wondering if there is reason to be concerned
that pollen specimens might attract moths and beetles that will feed on the
pollen and/or other materials in the museum collection. Are there

Hi Tara
An entomologist told me once that ants had tracked into a seed store/bank,
attracted to pollen, and had taken seeds from the collection. Is this what
you’re experiencing or are there bugs in the collection?
Best wishes

Julie,
I believe one example would be the Synergetic bulb. My understanding is that it
provides two separate peaks of light (one within the UV spectrum and one within
the green range in the visible light spectrum) that attracts a wider range of
pests.
The key would be to use a bulb that attrac
Hello, Pestlist
I am curious about the green light traps that are mentioned in this article
describing the Louvre's new storage facility. The article doesn't go into
much detail, but does say that the "Green lighting fixtures trap and kill
bugs like the common furniture beetle.".
Is anyone fam
Does anyone in the group have experience with insects feeding on
archaeological pollen specimens?
Thank you,

I must retract my statement of skepticism about webbing clothes moth pheromone
disruptors earlier in this thread. There is a product available in the UK but
not the US. Oh how I wish we had it! Many thanks to my colleagues for the
