Building on the success of Integrated Pest Management in Cultural Heritage (2015), this fully revised and expanded edition is the definitive guide to preventing and managing pest damage in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and historic houses.

Written by David Pinniger, one of the world’s foremost experts in heritage pest management, the handbook reflects the latest research, emerging pest species, and advances in detection, control and prevention. New content includes a major chapter on biological control by Pascal Querner, revised chapters on rodents and birds by Adrian Meyer, and new illustrations of insects which are some of the clearest pictures of heritage pests yet published.

This edition represents a complete reworking of a trusted reference. It is essential for every heritage professional concerned with safeguarding collections. It combines practical, evidence-based guidance with the author’s decades of field experience to show how Integrated Pest Management can reduce risks, improve safety, and save resources across cultural institutions worldwide.
