We are in the midst of a dermestid infestation and I am looking to hear from institutions that have recently used any form of pesticide treatment for building spaces. We are highly resistant to the use of pesticides for multiple reasons. However, we are interested in exploring all options as this is what our pest management company recommends. We are already using pheromone and sticky monitoring traps. Also, I am looking for recommendations for a chest freezer for the purpose of freezing some of our textiles. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has purchased a freezer in the last couple years. Thank you in advance for your advice and please feel free to contact me off list. --Bonnie _______________________________________ Bonnie K. Sousa Registrar/Senior Collections Manager Robert S.
