Contrary to what is claimed,Vikane does affect finishes on Art works, not to the naked eye. Check Bob Koestler's papers on anoxic treatment. Bill In a message dated 5/20/2010 9:50:58 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi All, I am seeking advice on a termite problem we are having at my museum. We have determined that we have drywood termites infested in the front lobby of our museum. Our extermination company of course wants to fumigate the entire museum. We know that this not possible, so my questions are as follows: The exterminator wants to use Vikane Gas. Is this the correct gas to use? Will it harm artwork if the gas leaked into a gallery? Is t his the proper way to exterminate drywood termintes? This is definitely not something that we have ever had to deal with before, so any suggestions on how to fix this infestation would be greatly appreciated.
