Neil,

Sterilite containers might be a possibility.  They don't have a locking
seal but they are transparent.  Supposedly they do not off-gas.  I use them
for objects at home and I do notice that while Rubbermaide containers have
an odor, the Sterilite containers do not.   They are more rigid than the
Rubbermaid containers as well.  You can find them at places like Fred Meyer
and Target.

Amber…

Thanks for your post re: LockLock plastic containers. I looked at both
your Amazon link and at their own website. They seem ideal for small items,
but I could not find any large enough for larger objects. We have many
pieces that barely fit into a 24 x 36 polyethylene bag, and some Kpelle
masks with feathered coifs approach 40. The larger pieces can always be
handled individually, but I wonder if there are 18-24 x 30-36 containers
similar to the LL that could accommodate the bulk of our collection.
Having transparency, a good seal, being nestable and stackable with enough
capacity seems ideal.

Neil

[pestlist] electronic squirrel deterrents

Hello all,

One of our historic buildings, a log cabin, has squirrel issues.  We've
tried plugging the holes with hardwire cloth and copper mesh, but the
squirrels just pull it out and use it as nesting material.  The building
has double walls with a gap in between, perfect for stuffing with apples
and raising squirrel babies.

A member of our maintenance crew brought in information about an ultrasound
emitter that acts as a repellent.  (This one is called YardGard.)  Does
anyone have any experiences with these kind of devices and whether they
work?

Thanks,
Sam

[pestlist] freezing large wooden artifacts

Hello -

I am writing to ask for treatment advice for some larger wooden artifacts.
I am currently doing support work for the National Park of American Samoa
and it has come to my attention that three larger wooden artifacts in the
collection that show signs of wood-boring beetle damage.  The objects are
two bas-relief carvings and a kava bowl.  The carvings measure 80-90 cm
long, 40 cm wide and 6-10 cm thick.  They are carved from teak.  The kava
bowl measures about 16 cm tall with a diameter of 43 cm.The type of
wood is unknown.

Is freezing a viable option or do we risk cracks or splits in the
artifacts? If we need to look at fumigation or anoxia for treatment, are
there any service providers in Honolulu (where the artifacts are currently
stored) that anyone has experience with?

Thanks very much for your help.

Greetings--
I am looking for a UV light to help identify rodent entry points.  I've
found a wide variety of models ranging from LED-type flashlights to
flourescent tubes, different wattages and types of batteries. . . a wide
variety of claims as to which model is the most effective.  A wide variety
of prices too, from $20-200.  Does anyone have experience with UV lights,
and do the more expensive ones really work better?
Thanks for your help.
