IPM
Residual pesticide (paradichlorobenzene)
on specimen
Developed in 40’s –
50’s by agricultural
industries
Cost effective
Minimize pesticide
use in collections
Preventive
approach
IPM Components
Monitoring Identification & Documentation Housekeeping (food, dust) CM Policy Building Envelope Environmental Controls Treatment (freezing, fumigation, heat treatment, anoxia)
IPM In Practice

~ 24,000,000 specimens
Identification
Common Pests:
Cigarette Beetle,
Termites,
Silverfish,
Dermestids,
Powder post beetle
Indicator: Psocids (book lice), Pill bugs, Springtails indicate
high humidity
Predator:
Spiders, Geckos
Identification: Pests
Proteins
(carpet beetle, case making
clothes moth)
Wood borers (termites,
powder post beetle)
Starch (silverfish,
firebrats)
Omivores
(Cockroachs, crickets)
Intervention
730,000 specimens
(11,756 types)
Cigarette Beetle:
- Larval stage can last up to two months
- Females lay up to 100 eggs
Intervention
Identification of Source:
Combination of sticky traps,
pheromone traps, UV light
traps monitored weekly
Monitoring
S.Ch. Papadopouloua and C.Th.
Buchelos. “Comparison of
trapping efficacy for Lasioderma
serricorne (F.) adults with
electric, pheromone, food
attractant and control - adhesive
traps.” Journal of Stored Products
Research. 38 (2002) 375–383
UV light traps
most effective in
trapping cigarette
beetles
Intervention
Identification of Source:
Combination of sticky traps,
pheromone traps, UV light
traps monitored weekly
Intervention: Vikane
fumigation, freezing
Intervention
Identification of Source:
Combination of sticky traps,
pheromone traps, UV light
traps monitored weekly
Problems identified:
failed gaskets in cabinets
(replaced)
Intervention: Vikane
fumigation, freezing

Changed Policy:
Visiting researchers can no longer bring bags/backpacks into collection
areas
Intervention: Vikane
fumigation, freezing
Vikane (bad news)
Maximum legal concentration (‘10x’) not 100% effective in
killing cigarette beetle eggs (Dow AgroScience)
Vikane:
Sulfuryl floride
SO2F2
