Integrated Pest Management for Cultural Heritage

The Pest Fact Sheets have been replaced with our site’s new Airtable Fact Sheet page. But fans can find the original PDF Pest Fact Sheets here. These sheets were an easy to read, single page handout for the most common museum pests as determined by a survey of professionals in cultural heritage institutions.

Unless a specific institution is credited, the resources on these pages have been developed by members of the MuseumPests Working Group’s Identification Aids Committee.
