Museum pests can destroy valuable artworks and antiques. We understand that you need specialist care. Protecting cultural collections requires more than standard treatments; it calls for expert museum pest control tailored to sensitive environments.
Ehrlich Pest Control has been protecting our cultural heritage ever since our founding more than 85 years ago. Our technicians understand how common museum pests like the webbing clothes moth, carpet beetles, silverfish, booklice, and rodents can threaten collections.
Museums, art galleries and antique specialists are vulnerable to a wide range of pest problems:
- Artwork, books, textiles and other soft organic matter are vulnerable to moths, booklice and textile pests.
- Rats and mice will gnaw wood and other hard objects and will shred textiles and soft materials for nesting.
- Furniture and other wooden objects are at risk from beetles.
- Wooden church lecterns and pews are also very susceptible to wood boring beetles.
We carry out pest control in museums, galleries, libraries, and antique specialists to reduce the risk of damage and preserve collections for future generations.
