The IPM Working Group would like to announce that the 2009 
meeting will be held February 23-24, 2009 and hosted by the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
 
The IPM Working Group is a group of museum professionals 
from various disciplines dedicated to the development of pest management 
resources for the general museum community.  
The goal of the working group meeting is not to teach IPM, but rather to 
focus on developing resources to make IPM easier for museum staff. We recognize 
that every museum has similar challenges with regards to pest management. We 
hope that the working group can help solve problems while alleviating the need 
for every museum to come up with their own solutions.
 
Some of the available resources include the museumpests.net 
website; a free pest manager downloadable database, the museum pest mailing 
list; templates for developing IPM policy and procedure documents, case studies 
on pest control treatment, PowerPoint training documents, IPM bibliographies and 
a list of IPM web links.  All of these 
are accessible from the website at www.museumpests.net
 
This year’s meeting will allow for continued work on the 
long-term goals of the various sub-committees including:  Pest Imaging/identification aids, data 
collection and visualization tools, and pest 
treatment resources.  

 
For more information on the working group please see the 
FAQ page on www.museumpests.net.
