Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites enter a structure from the air,
not from the soil. So far, you say that you have found them in one relatively
small area. Because drywood termite colonies are usually much smaller and may
be restricted to individual pieces of wood, they can often

Susan, Generally speaking, springtails will not reproduce indoors. That's the
good news.
The bad news is a little harder to live with. We'll begin with my opinion
that, while a number of pesticide labels include springtails among pests
controlled, there are really no pesticides effective upo

Hayley, yours is a problem that is not unique.
Spray, spray, spray -- that is all that many pest control operators can think
of.
Every pest that you have mentioned, with the exception of the hornets, is
simply looking for a place to hibernate, not to live and breed. None of the
mentioned pest
Mary, your question invokes much thought and many more questions.
If, through monitoring, you are confident that the problem is presently
confined to the store (presumably your use of the word "store" does not refer
to artifact storage), you are in luck. I would initiate control measures

To all, Unfortunately I have already eliminated the original email on this
subject, but having looked at it only briefly and considered the situs

It is quite likely that you are confronted with the multi-colored Asian lady
beetle, which are known to hibernate en masse in buildings. They are here
because of a poorly thought out importation a number of years ago.
It is not likely that they will do any damage to objects within your facility
Tom, I did that, successfully, to the space beneath the compactors in a major
museum here in the Kansas City area. The museum was plagued with odd beetle,
cabinet beetle and spiders, including brown recluse. I drilled holes on
approximately 8 foot centers. This was done in 1987-8 time frame.
Tara, this sounds like a DIY project to me.First, it's not likely that the pill
bugs or sow bugs are coming from the drain; more likely they are simply
attracted to the drain. Might there be a lot of organic mulch surrounding that
stairwell? If so, that's the source.Now, what to do about them
Lisa, there are several formulations of permethrin insecticide that are labeled
for use on clothing. There are also several lines of outdoor and sports
clothing impregnated with permethrin. Permethrin is used extensively by the
armed forces and, properly applied, will withstand several washin

True shrink-wrapping requires a heat gun; not a good idea with artifacts. Even
if no heat gun were used, such a tight-fitting wrap may damage an artifact.

You might explore the use of paradichlorobenzene. It exhibits both
fumigant, as well as repellent properties.
While I no longer use it, it did not seem to crystallize out on
specimens. I would like to see input, both pro and con, on this issue
from others.
