Re: Pesticides and Spraying in an Archives.



Helpful hint - If you have staff or volunteers around who get spooked at the
sight of bugs, make sure they don't take matters into their own hands. Last
fall, during our annual ladybug invasion, the kid in our mail room was so
unnerved and irritated by the dozens of ladybugs swirling around under his
cieling light that he grabbed a can of Raid and bombed the whole place,
including my office and the archives! It was so bad that we had to leave
until everything aired out.

Best wishes,

> Greetings Fellow Listers,

are situated in a building at a community college.  The college recently was
sprayed by the exterminators however i ask them not to spray in the archives
office area and definately would not allow them to spray in the storage
rooms.  But now we seem to have become a "safe haven" for the surviving
roaches.
