Pest Infestation

Damages due to pest infestation are irreversible.  Paper, wood, leather, textile and fibre are prone to pest infestation because pests can easily ingest these organic materials.  

Different pests attack different artefacts.  Silverfish (lepisma saccharina) attack books and paper artefacts while carpet beetles (anthrenus verbasci) prefer nestling among historical costumes and textiles.  

 Termites are aggressive pests.  This termite-infested wood panel used to be part of an aircraft. Diiferent pests attack different artefacts. Silverfish (lepisma saccharina) attacks books and paper artefacts while carpet beetles (anthrenus verbasci) perfer nestling among historical costumes and textiles.   

  

Termites are aggresive pests. This termite – infested wood panel used to be part of an aircraft.   

   

Notice tiny holes created by pest?

 Take a look at the brace.  Do you know why the termites had only attacked the un-etched portions, leaving the etched areas untouched?  The pests could have found the varnish covering the etched portions inedible.
