<p class="MsoNormal"> Typically if you find more than an occasional spider, they tend to find their ways into many spaces even if there isn’t a major food source, it’s a potential indication of a pest population. If the number noticeably rises
that can be an indication as well; though you’re not finding many pests. Has the number of book lice risen corresponding to the spider population or is it similar to the past few months?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt">This time of year it is not uncommon to see a jump in the number of museum pests and non-museum pests as the weather can drive them indoors. Best to keep an eye out and see if the spider population maintains and
if the pest population rises. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there such a thing as too many spiders in collections storage areas? We have recently had a noticeable bump in spider populations in our storage. no signs of collections pests in the traps, except booklice. Should we be worried? Would
it mean we may have a bump in spider prey? I am glad they are around to eat insects, but they seem to be getting much more numerous and physically large….<o:p></o:p></p>
