Hello Joanna,

I suggest that you run a test on an empty Riker mount or one that has an expendable specimen. Follow the procedures described on museumpest.net<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumpest.net&d=DwMGaQ&c=7ypwAowFJ8v-mw8AB-SdSueVQgSDL4HiiSaLK01W8HA&r=T3-GdJpGymATDX2Gs-qdsdn_9K3HJjQ1YqVlqdXlB68&m=L0c4a1DGtwRAtm-pQKd79VKO31n7QiyV4vvHZIa1DC4&s=11ejrz9IEqNC5RsApJKhmD2KCnGC1KjRB-7Dl85j42Q&e=>. This will inform you of it is safe, which I suspect it is.

We recently received a donation of several boxes of insect Riker mounts and at least some have active pest infestations, so we need to either heat treat or freeze them all. We are fairly limited on freezer space so I was wondering if anyone has heat treated Riker mount specimens before and has any info on protocols or contraindications for this method.

Thanks,
