*Integrated Pest Management*
June 13-15, 2016
Registration deadline: May 16, 2016
Instructor: Christa Deacy-Quinn

The course will focus on behavior- and facility-oriented methods of
conducting integrated pest management, with heavy emphasis on low-chemical,
practical solutions. Topics covered include: basic identification of common
invertebrate and vertebrate pests; developing an awareness of pest
populations in and near museum facilities; determining action thresholds;
infestation control methods (both for buildings and in collections); how to
choose a pest management professional; infestation prevention methods; and
health hazards relating to infesting pests and pest control efforts.
Participants will engage in institution-specific integrated pest management
problem solving. The course will involve lectures, lab work, and group
discussion. Lab work will include hands-on identification and building
evaluation. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring examples or
evidence of pests or pest damage in their institution’s building or
collections (photographs, damaged non-collections items, and/or
invertebrate pest specimens; please do not bring live examples!).
Participants should bring photographs of their building(s), and are
encouraged to bring building floor plans or maps.
