Pest Management

Everyone working in a museum, library or archive should familiarize themselves with the pests that can attack their collections. This book incorporates much of the material contained in insect pests in museums but it has been expanded to include as much up-to-date information as possible. It is intended to be a working guide to help people recognise pests and take practical steps to prevent and control damage to collections. It includes information on trapping and detection of pests and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of physical and chemical control measures.
