In the northern hemisphere it's getting cold; in the southern hemisphere it's warming up! Both are good time to check your building envelope and door sweeps to discourage pests from getting in! (Image by @HaydenTheDuck)

What’s your #MuseumIPM trap checking strategy? Pull all your blunders and replace every time regardless of how many pests (or dust!) OR mark the pests you counter and put them back? #TrapCheck #MuseumPests #ShouldItStayOrShouldItGo

For #FrassFriday here is some American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana) frass and damage as seen on the leather spines of bound books. Check with a conservator or clean the objects before freezing to avoid the frass fusing to the surface! #MuseumPests #MuseumIPM

@Jessicalewinsky This is a great question for the pestlist where more words can be used and files shared easily. Great question

Day2 catching up on 2019 #IPM data (132 xls; 4,477 traps; 7,696 pests; 111 houses-& counting). Going a bit 😜 but vital to keep on top of this: Monitoring/recording means you know what’s normal. So you know when it’s not ! @MuseumPests @Conservators_uk

Buy in. Tricky to gain, however invaluable once you do! Every position has the potential to support a strong IPM program at your institution. Dave in Facilities leaves detailed notes with his findings and I thank him every time. #museumpests #noIinIPM #pests #teamwork

I'll try to get a true #frassfriday up before the end of the day! Until then, enjoy the meme ;) #pheromones #clothesmoths #museumpests #gottacatchemall
