We have a persistent infestation of carpet beetle in the skulls that has not been eliminated by insitu fumigation.
We have funding available to improve the storage conditions of the mammals collection, and will be sealing the cupboards in an attempt to seal out the pests, however we want the collection to be pest free before it is returned to the modified storage cupboards. We are considering the options to successfully treat the entire collection. Has anyone frozen a collection of skulls before and were there adverse effects? Thanks, Renita Ryan Principal Conservator, Objects Artlab Department of the Premier & Cabinet South Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list send an email to [email protected] and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
