Could anyone familiar with the product Suspend SC Insecticide inform me about its effectiveness and/or caveats?  It appears to contain Deltamethrin (4.75%) and the rest are inert ingredients.  It is produced by the Bayer Environmental Science Company.  It is being proposed to be used in our new building.

Abby -

Where many carpet beetle type infestations begin and continue are in the voids beneath the cabinets known as the toe kick.  This is where you should apply the dust.  You may have to drill small holes in the toe kick in order to blow the dust into the voids with a hand duster.  These voids accumulate all sorts of protein debris and become a reservoir for fabric pests.

Thanks for this, however due to our proximity to Liverpool Conservation Centre and their walk-in freezer we decided to use freezing.
 
Many thanks,
Abby

Hello Dr Stevens,
did you consider that the infestation can be stopped by means of Anoxia method ? The system Veloxy could be the solution. See RGI's web site  www.rgi-genova.com  we have installed one system at the British Library of London and you can ask to Dr. Knight about the machinery that allows a very user friendly application of the quite effective and safe method to fight enthomatic biodeterioration.

Hello,
 
We currently have an infestation of Reesa Vespulae in one of our mammals cases. We're taking all the specimens out to be frozen, the props will be removed and case will be cleaned thoroughly. However the case is quite problematic as there are huge voids underneath and behind that are not easily accessible. I'm going to attempt to clean these areas while the specimens are out, but I'm wondering whether some desiccant dust or insecticide spray would be a good idea to prevent the pests returning. Does anyone have any recommendations?
 
Many thanks,
Abby
