Dear Rebecca, why don't you consider of using anoxia method to eradicate insect 
pests in you museum ? By means of VELOXY, any specie of insect will die in few 
weeks of expositio to anoxia; no matter of their stage of life (adult, egg, 
larva, pupa).
Take a look to RGI's web site and see the references to VELOXY equipment

  Subject: [pestlist] Lethal temps for Red Legged Ham Beetles


  Has anyone done any research into lethal temperatures for red legged ham 
beetles Necrobia rufipes?



  I have Tom Strang's fatal temperature list and these guys are not on it 
unfortunately.  I am especially interested in the high lethal temperature.  



  Thanks!

  Rebecca
