Hello all, My institution struggles with pest management due to the nature of construction and age of our buildings. Some of our biggest threats are dermestids, booklice, and silverfish. We also play host to many flies, which not only poop on our collections, but provide a meal for and attract more dermestids. Attempts at sealing our buildings have been made but we still struggle. Our problems are so extreme that we're considering spraying the OUTSIDE of our buildings to help mitigate these risks.
The pest company has recommended the following products: demand, Temprid, and Delta guard granulars. I've spoken to the pest company about wanting to keep the pesticides outside because we're a museum, and they understood. I was hoping to receive some opinions about the safety and efficacy of the use of these chemicals and others at your institutions for pest management. Please feel free to share any experiences you find relevant to this topic, positive or negative! Thanks.
