I did not implement the IPM (my predecessor has already done that ), but was tasked to continue with this process. She has left me with a good workable plan, which we can easily afford.  For example I use non poisonous stick traps to monitor the activities of pest insects and fumigate our collection areas at least once a month. I know all insect groups and can easily identify them, however I do feel that there is still a lot to be learnt as IPM is still very much unfolding.   My experience of the IPM is that museum staff does not have much knowledge or experience in it.  And due to the lack of knowledge often don’t care much less.   Regards Aisha Mayekiso (Assistant Collections Manager )   From: ad...@museumpests.net [mailto:ad...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Linda Kemp Sent: 06 March 2013 02:32 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] IPM in emerging economies   I’m currently researching how museums in the third world or emerging economies such as Brazil, India, and other areas such as Africa, implement IPM, or if in fact if they are unable to implement it due to lack of funding?   Does anyone have any resources or experiences they could share?   Thanks   Linda Kemp 59 Howland Way London SE16 6HW   e-mail: linda.k...@email59.plus.com    tel: +44 (0) 20 7232 2150 mobile: +44 (0) 7946 634947   DISCLAIMER: This E-mail and any attachments contain confidential information for the addressee only.
