Museums and Antiquities

At Pest-Off, we offer the expertise to protect and conserve antiquities from pest problems.

Using specialist products and techniques, we can ensure minimal risk of damage to even delicate items or relics in your museum, gallery or historic building.

Our specialised division, Pest-Off Property Care, offers additional protection to ancient and historic properties with treatments for wood damage, rot problems, cavity wall tie corrosion and structural damp issues.

 

Your Pest Threats

Antiquities, historic buildings and artefacts are vulnerable to a wide range of pest problems:

  • Artwork, books, textiles and other soft organic matter are vulnerable to moths, booklice and textile beetles.
  • Rodents 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 wood boring beetles.
  • Wooden church lecterns and pews are also very susceptible to wood damage and other timber decay problems.

A key benefit of our service is the access we have to specialist treatments, particularly suitable for use against pest infestations on historical and valuable items.

Deter Snakes From Entering Your Property

To deter snakes there are a few things you can do:

  • Mow grass regularly to keep it short.
  • Clear low growing plants and shrubs that provide cover.
  • Remove rockeries, debris, wood or log piles. Keep compost heaps in a sealed bin.
  • Fill holes that they can hide in – under sheds, patios and walls.
  • Fill holes that they can hide in – under sheds, patios and walls.

Sometimes exotic snakes are found in gardens, grounds or warehouses – mostly in urban or suburban areas. These species may be escaped or abandoned pets or accidentally imported in goods.
