Insects have a diverse range of ecologies that leaves many pre‐adapted to exploiting manufactured products as food sources, including musical instruments. To review what is known and to make recommendations for preventing and managing insect damage to musical instruments, we conducted a systematic search and a narrative review of the area. Of 339 papers, only eight peer‐reviewed publications met the inclusion criteria, and all were on xylophagous insects causing damage to wooden instruments. To supplement this material, we report a case of damage to the key pads (composed of felt enclosed in fish buoyancy bladder skin) of a clarinet by carpet beetles (Anthrenus verbasci (Dermestidae)), the first reported case of non‐woody damage and the first instance of insect damage rendering an instrument unplayable. To avoid such damage, regular inspection of instruments is recommended, and rapid treatment of any insect infestations in the immediate environment that could extend to affecting stored instruments. Instruments themselves can be extremely expensive, and if insects are still present these should only be treated by an expert; instrument cases can be more easily dealt with by heat treatment (black plastic bag in the sun) or application of a residual insecticide. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

注意事项:昆虫会损坏乐器。

昆虫具有多种多样的生态,因此许多人已经预先适应将制成品作为食物来源,包括乐器进行开发。为了回顾已知的知识并提出预防和管理昆虫对乐器的损害的建议,我们对该区域进行了系统的搜索和叙述性回顾。在339篇论文中,只有8篇经过同行评审的出版物符合纳入标准,并且所有出版物都是针对木乃伊昆虫的,造成了木制仪器的损坏。为了补充这种材料,我们报告了一例地毯甲虫对单簧管的按键垫(由包裹在鱼浮力膀胱中的毡组成)损坏的情况(Anthrenus verbasci(Dermestidae)),第一个报告的非木质破坏案例和第一起昆虫破坏实例导致乐器无法播放。为避免此类损坏,建议定期检查仪器,并在附近环境中迅速处理可能会扩展到影响所存储仪器的任何昆虫侵扰。仪器本身可能非常昂贵,并且如果仍然存在昆虫,则只能由专家进行处理。通过热处理(日光下的黑色塑料袋)或使用残留的杀虫剂可以更轻松地处理仪器箱。©2020化学工业协会
