dear Dr. Crumton, You could try with 100% successfull result by adopting the System Veloxy coupled to a gas proof chamber equipped with a special zipper. Visit www.rgi-genova.com web site and take a look to the references of the Museums, Archives and Libraries that have been adopting this method Ercole Gialdi [email protected] or [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Crumpton, Trey To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 9:30 PM Subject: Case-making Clothes Moth Problem
I am writing to ask if anyone knows of some possible methods of control for a Case-Making Clothes Moth infestation throughout a permanent exhibit space. We have been battling a moderate infestation for many months now, but cannot find a way to completely eradicate the bugs. Short of "bug-bombing" the whole building (which we don't want to do for a variety of reasons, and which may not even solve the problem), we are not sure what the best methods are. We have tried freezing animal mounts, CO2 chamber, and spraying around non-catalogued objects, but if anyone has an idea or variation of those methods, please let me know. Thanks for your time, Trey Crumpton Collections Assistant Mayborn Museum Complex Baylor University One Bear Place #97154 Waco, Texas 76798-7154 (254) 710-1190 Fax: (254) 710-1173 www.maybornmuseum.com
