Protecting your home and our heritage
Whether you own a precious inherited object, curate a collection, or manage an entire historic property, keeping possessions in the best possible condition and protecting them from damage by insects is a constant concern. Natural fabrics are vulnerable to feeding by larvae of clothes moths and carpet beetles; bathrooms and kitchens can be invaded by silverfish; books and libraries munched by booklice and furniture and timber mined by woodworm.
All too often pest control in museums, libraries, archives and historic houses is a reaction to the discovery of insect activity and damage. Historyonics promotes the science of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), the aim of which is to monitor for pests and targeting treatment only where and when it is needed. We have many years of experience in managing insects and we back-up our advice with a trusted portfolio of products, from pheromone monitoring systems to insecticide and non-insecticidal control solutions.
We are proud to support many of the great houses and museums of the UK and Europe.
