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 (www.campbellsci.com/app-notes) 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. CAUTION 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. 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.) D-1
