[NHCOLL-L:2661] annobid freeze temperature

[Stuart Fullerton]

dear folks

we have discovered annobidae beetles in some of the mammal skins - 
obviously not carred for correctly for a year or so.

can not throw out, must salvage.     at moment have sprayed cabinet. 
drawers, and skins with specticide insecticide (was handy) and flooded 
with pdb and taped cabinets.     how cold, and for how long would we 
wish to freeze skins, if that can be done, to kill eggs, larvae and pupa.


you can send suggestions to me direct and avoid list server congestion.



thanks!  rof

cheers!
