Set up traps
Specialised monitoring trap for catching insects, which damage archive, library and
Museum
collections.
Designed based on the expertise in the specific nature of insect behavior.
The insects are not destroyed when trapped which enables them to be identified and quantified and makes it possible to control the insect populations.
The trap does not contain any potentially dangerous substances. The attractant is safe for humans and the museum collections are completely harmless.
The long-term nature of
Integrated Pest Management
is more cost effective than many object treatments.
An effective
IPM
means prevention, recognition, action.
