This has been in closed containers. The preliminary results are positive. No critters have been seen moving.

It housed a gradual build up of debris from eight years of service, which when inspected did contain larvae. We are now looking at having the elevator shaft floor thoroughly cleaned and sprayed. Our facilities provider has suggested using Gentrol, but we have only found it referenced with regards to beetles in the literature. Any comments on the efficacy of Gentrol for webbing clothes moths would be appreciated. We are also considering using an insecticide/desiccant combination - such as PyGanic, or Alpine Dust (two suggested by our facility providers).
