A revised handbook on pest management in cultural heritage, covering prevention, detection, and control across museums, libraries, and historic collections.
Building on the success of Integrated Pest Management in Cultural Heritage (2015), this fully revised and expanded edition is the definitive guide to preventing and managing pest damage in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and historic houses. Written by David Pinniger, one of the world’s foremost experts in heritage pest management, the handbook reflects the latest research, emerging pest species, and advances in detection, control and prevention. New content includes a major chapter on biological control by Pascal Querner, revised chapters on rodents and birds by Adrian Meyer, and new illustrations of insects which are some of the clearest pictures of heritage pests yet published.
