Good afternoon, I work for a local authority archive in the UK, we have just moved into a new building with an exhibition space. We have monitored for pests in our storage spaces for many years but have not previously had an exhibition space. I'm trying to plan placement of pest traps in the exhibition space and hoping for some advice.
The exhibition space is on the ground floor with doors direct to the outside opening into it. The ground floor is an open plan space with exhibition space adjacent to the café with only partition walls separating them. There is no hot food sold, no cooking on site but obviously still food in the space. We have one object on open display, a painted metal military item - no organic parts. We have high spec display cases, with low AER, housing the remainder of the objects - organic and inorganic. I'm wondering where to put traps. (I'm wondering if it's even possible pests would get inside cases unless brought in on the objects, mounts etc?) Any advice gratefully received.
