Workshop on pest control

"Pest Control in Museums: A Workshop Emphasising Non-Toxic
    Fumigation Techniques"
Sydney, Australia
June 23-27, 1997.

This course will be an updated repeat of the earlier two highly
successful courses.  The five day course is designed for Museums,
Libraries,  Archives, and Herbarium personnel.  Topics covered
through both lectures and practicals will include integrated pest
management, insects and their identification, trapping, Modified
atmospheres (low oxygen), heating, freezing, and insect growth
regulators. There will also be a brief review of available chemical
methods. The emphasis for the course will be on training the
participant to solve pest problems using non-toxic methods wherever
possible. There will also be special sessions dealing with issues
pertinent to developing countries especially from Asia and Pacific.
Instructors include experts from museums, universities, and pest
control industries from both Australia and overseas.
