Insects, Rodents and Wild Animals

If you see insects or suspect an infestation, contact custodial or facilities. They can determine of they can exterminate or if professionals should be contacted.

Books should be moved away from the area. If books have become infested, they should be removed, wrapped in plastic and sent to a vendor for freezing.

Animals and rodents carry disease and rabies. Staff should not attempt to remove the animal. Security should be contacted.

Besides actually witnessing insects, rodents and animals, be aware of feces and frass. (Frass is the excrement that remains from bugs. If you notice a little pile of dust or wood on a shelf, notify someone.).
