Hi Fletcher, We dealt with a similar problem earlier this year in Sarasota. In our case it was a historic doorframe (not original to the building) installed around one of our gallery doorways. Because tenting the entire museum wasn’t feasible, we deinstalled the doorframe, placed it in a truck

Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites enter a structure from the air, not from the soil. So far, you say that you have found them in one relatively small area. Because drywood termite colonies are usually much smaller and may be restricted to individual pieces of wood, they can often

Greetings, Why not try Nuvan Prostrips---active is dichlorvos. You would have to put affected items in a sealed bag with one of these fumigant strips and follow the label for exposure time. By the way, these are terrific pictures---great for teaching purposes. Regards, Nancy *Nancy Troyano PhD,

Anoxic treatment on a building is very possible. Grain silos were purged with nitrogen during the Second World War preventing food lose to rodent and insect populations. Textiles from 1890's have changed color under Vikane, off white to a yellow white from the acids. Most companies will tell

Many years ago conservation scientist Jim Duizak at the Getty Conservation Institute did research on Vikane and found that the commercial formulation contained residual organic acids that would tarnish and etch metals and affect other acid sensitive materials.

Kristen - Vikane gas, as it comes in its cylinder, has impurities in it, which may damage collection materials. It certainly will tarnish silver and certain other metals. It has amazing penetrating properties and therefore would not be able to be confined to the lobby area of the museum. I

Hire termite dogs and get to the root of the problem, what ever it takes. If you chose Vikane, expect to retreat every few years. Please, before you decide research Vikane on the internet in terms of toxicity. Know the facts not just what you are told. Bill ACI In a message dated 5/20/2010

Contrary to what is claimed,Vikane does affect finishes on Art works, not to the naked eye. Check Bob Koestler's papers on anoxic treatment. Bill In a message dated 5/20/2010 9:50:58 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, kzimmer...@cummer.org writes: Hi All, I am seeking advice on a termite pr
