Hello, I am the facilities specialist responsible for the IPM at the Montana 
Historical Society including our collections areas.

I am trying to find some alternative methods of discouraging pests getting into 
our collections, especially since some of the Native American Artifacts are 
sensitive and normal IPM methods are not allowed for cultural reasons.

I have been doing some preliminary research on using essential oils such as 
lavender and cedar as a repellent, particularly to moths, and it looks like 
some people have had success with it. Has anybody here tried this, and if so 
what were the results?
