Greetings,
I don't think so, since PestList is a Google group, and the email from
Conserv looks like a generic bulk email that is being sent to the Google
group. Clicking on "Manage preferences" goes to a page for updating the
email preferences for pestlist@googlegroups.com and not my email addre
Greetings,
With both methods, what would leave less biological waste behind (since
death moths are food sources for living pests)? And would the Trichogramma
wasps die off after the target pest is eliminated, or could they find
another food source and create their own infestation?
Thank you,

Greetings,
I hope not, because that would have ruined my day had I not heard it
skittering around when I walked around with it. Although it does resemble
that. This is southeast New Mexico, in case that impacts identification.
Thank you,

The larger spiders are some sort of house spider, possibly Tegenaria
domestica based upon the color bands on its legs. The smaller one would be
a wall spider. Wall spiders are the sort that hide in crevices, cracks,
and corners, and trap smaller pests that cross their paths. Both use

I have seen them through microscopes actually walking on the adhesive. The
traps were manufactured about three years prior to use, but other pests
were stuck without issue.
I also found a black widow spider in a room with window issues, and tried
to get it to go onto a trap, but it ma

I've experienced that a few times. The most fascinating was an incident
where I watched a cockroach enter a museum through the front door, and I
chased it to try to kill it. It walked right into a trap by a window, so I
left it. A week later when I did my monthly inspections, I found

It is a wood louse, which means there is a source of rotting wood or
vegetation somewhere outside, a source of moisture, and a means of entering
the building. Or perhaps there is a part of the building that itself is
wet and starting to rot, like a basement window sill. It is definite

It looks to be just a generic personal Wordpress blog, registered through a
low-cost website registrar out of Arizona, with nothing on it that stands

It looks like a juvenile silverfish.

Greetings,
They are devastating for collections, but it can be cathartic to see them
targeting other pests. I once watched an American cockroach run into a
gallery, and I quickly nudged a trap in front of its path. A week later, I
did my monthly trap inspections and found that the cockroach was

I see no ethical issues. They are pests that eat artifacts, and thus
destroy history. But there might be a legal issue, depending on whether or
not invertebrates are included as animals in animal testing laws.
Thank you,

and supposedly deters pantry moths; it does not contain active

Once the building issue is resolved, the problem will mostly disappear as
woodlice need a humid microclimate and rotting wood. Diatomaceous earth,
spread along baseboards and around cracks in the envelope, will help cut
down their numbers over time. Perhaps if you have arachnid enthus

That is an unfortunate identification, but thank you. As I must say that
the Museumpests list has given some great advice on digital/USB
microscopes. I could not have taken those photographs otherwise.

If one or more of the eggs had fallen off the trap, what are the chances
