I would be interested in this also.  Our conservations staff has been working us away from pesticides and we generally use freezing and anoxia to treat infestation, but I am still hesitant to remove all deterrents from the insect collection.

Hello,

I am curious what others are using in their collections for general pest control and if anyone has had psocids visiting their collections.  I’ve just discovered psocids in an insect and herbarium cabinet and am interested in finding out if anyone else has had this issue and how it was corrected.

Thank you,
Amy K. Miller
