<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Karen,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">in Europe, several companies have
specialised offering gentle heat treatment to valuable cultural
objects to treat pests by using static warm-air chambers; more
details can be found, e.g., here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.thermolignum.com/en/home.html">https://www.thermolignum.com/en/home.html</a>.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Used this method when treating the
invested wood of our historic house (floorboards, beams),works
quite well. Another option would be carbon dioxide treatment of
the entrie cabinet:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://museumpests.net/solutions-controlled-atmospherecarbon-dioxide-treatment/">https://museumpests.net/solutions-controlled-atmospherecarbon-dioxide-treatment/</a></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It might be worth checking if there are
companies or other museums that operate such devices in your
vicinity, e.g. to treat historic (invested) furniture or similarly
large museum objects. Here in Munich, our museum offers such
services to other museums and collections. Thus it might be worth
searching.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope this helps</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Karen, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a lovely case. I can see why you want
to keep it. Do you see any pest evidence in the case or on
the taxidermy?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recommend that you clean it- inside and
out – as best as you can. Make sure that you clean the
interior, getting into all of the crevices. If you can remove
the deck, remove it and clean it. Use soft brushes and a
vacuum cleaner (preferably a HEPA vacuum). Clean under it.
Examine it closely with a flashlight. Close it up and put a
trap (sticky trap/monitor) inside and under it. Check the
traps over the next few months. A thorough cleaning should
make the case useful and pest free.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recently accepted a transfer of a large
taxidermy specimen and its case (see attached photo of the
case). We were able to place the specimen in our isolation
freezer, however, the case is too large to fit and cannot be
sufficiently disassembled. Our exhibits team would like to
keep the case for display at the museum. Unfortunately, the
case was part of a display in a non-museum setting for well
over a decade, which is concerning from an IPM perspective,
specifically with the completely sealed, presumably hollow,
base.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m thus coming to you for advice and
recommendations regarding pest mitigation for the case.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
