Dear Linda, We've been working with EXPM in Portugal and we can confirm their successful performance in book disinfestation. Static/semi-dynamic anoxia bubbles are particularly useful for great collection volumes such as the ones you have.
Right now we're looking for smaller anoxia systems for smaller objects. The little volume of anoxia needed makes big anoxia generation economically less viable. Greetings for everyone for such great discussions.

Our collections, which include a large clothing and textile collection, appear pretty clean right now as far as pests go, but a history of carpet beetle infestations makes me wary of moving old problems to this new facility. I am trying to plan the most effective yet feasible method for insuring that we don't move pests with our collections. What's best? Spot checking and only addressing problems as they appear? Freezing everything? Having our pest management company bomb our current collections storage? If you have moved recently and dealt with this issue I'd love to get your advice! “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind."
