Hello! I am the curator of a small rural museum. We have discovered webbing and case-making clothes moths in a wool rug and a medium sized taxidermy bear. The bear has no historical significance but a lot of sentimental value in the community.
Locally owned commercial freezers that can be set low enough or are large enough for either of these items are holding food. An online article from Rutgers University (https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1182/) as well as online discussion from commercial providers state that dry ice can be used for dry fumigation. Does anyone have experience with this? We have the ability to make heavy plastic bags with a sealer and a source of dry ice so those are not deterrents to the project. Thank you for your help!
