Appendix D. Keeping Insects Out Of
the Enclosure
Campbell Scientific has published an application note regarding how to keep
pests away from the equipment. It is found on the Campbell Scientific website
) and is called “Keeping Pests Away from
Equipment (5-Y).”
Here are two methods from the application note on how to keep insects out of
the enclosure.
1. Place moth balls or crystals in enclosures to prevent fire ants, wasps,
spiders, and other insects from nesting.
The fumes of moth balls or crystals could be hazardous.
Therefore, enclosures that contain moth balls or crystals
should be opened in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTION
2. Put animal ear tags in the enclosure. Apparently, some ear tags are treated
with an insecticide. Talk with personnel in an agricultural store to
determine the best ear tag for controlling the pests in your area. (This
technique originated in Southern Texas.)
