Hi Sarah- And to add, the woodlice are coming in from outside and you will need to find where they are coming from and block that entrance. That may mean better door sweeps or other building envelope improvements. Cleaning them up is your best remedy after taking care of the building envelope. I would advise sweeping and vacuuming very thoroughly, as dead woodlice will become food for other, worse insects.
Best wishes, Mary Nicolett _____________________________________ Mary Nicolett | she/her/hers Senior Preparator, IPM Coordinator [cid:dmalogo_emailsignature_v2_b234c062-e98a-4511-b565-5744dbbb5269.png] <https://dma.org> Office: 214-922-1244 Cell: 214-620-8858 1717 N.

Once the website loads, you will see a box that says "Oh No! I've got a pest infestation!" with a Learn More button. Click there to start, it gives you a basic flow of steps. If you know they are in a certain store room, you can place added insect monitors every 10 feet in a grid to better understand where they are. Check these daily, or every other day. Otherwise, it's hard to advise what to do until you figure out where they are. Good Luck, and if you need further assistance, you can contact me off-line. I'm not a trained entemologist, but as many of us, I can help advise next steps. -Mary Nicolett _____________________________________ Mary Nicolett | she/her/hers Senior Preparator, IPM Coordinator [cid:dmalogo_emailsignature_v2_b234c062-e98a-4511-b565-5744dbbb5269.png] <https://dma.org/> Office: 214-922-1244 Cell: 214-620-8858 1717 N.

We are trying to identify where they are coming in from, but does anyone have any advice about what to do once they are in the museum itself? At present we are clearing them away when we see them, but is there anything else we can do?
