<p>Hi William and thanks for the response.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The building is still being built so we don't know yet how many problems we're going to have with pests.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The public exhibits will be indoors but not in a climate controlled room - In general food and drink won't be allowed but I'm sure people will carry some in in their backpacks. At least one exhibit will be outside a case (flying birds) and there are doors
near by. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As for the skins being treated: I don't think they are prepared any differently than any other museum skin but will have to ask our preparator.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are plans to fumigate the entire building on a yearly basis.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I will look into the book link you sent.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Any advice will be appreciated.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Amos</p>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
We are about to christen a new building that will house our collections plus some exhibits to the public. While the collections themselves will be in a climate-controlled closed room the exhibits will be out in the open. Does anyone have any experience with
pest control in such a system?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hello Amos,<br>
<br>
There are many factors that will determine your pest control measures, but some basic common elements of an integrated pest management plan include sticky/blunder traps, flying insect sticky traps, pheromone traps if you're worried about specific
pests, potentially ultrasonic rodent repellents, policies around food/drink, inspection schedules for pests as well as damp, incorrect temperature/humidity, and I'm sure I'm missing a few other general measures that others will mention. There are a good resources
out there. I'm more familiar with North American information so they may vary for Israel but the general guidelines should be the same. One I have on my shelf is:

.<br>
<br>
When you say 'open', do you mean the exhibits will literally be in the open as in outside or is it more of an environmentally uncontrolled/minimally controlled space? Will the exhibits be in cases? Are these study skins or the like, treated
in some way? Does the space have a known history of pest issues? Is there food/drink in the area? Do entrances/exits open directly into the space? What treatment options do you have should an infestation be discovered?<br>
