<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition to the other suggestions, I have found UMMZ’s advice on using a plywood box with epoxy resin lining very very helpful for peace of mind! They can’t climb up the walls or eat through. We got one
in 2020 and have had far less issues than our previous aquarium setups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Our dermestid colony is located in a room on a separate floor from our collections. We line the inside of our tanks with a ring of Vaseline near the top where it meets the
mesh lid. All tanks are placed in secondary containment - 6 inch walled plastic tote bins that have curved vs. squared-off basins making it fairly slippery and difficult for the beetles to climb out. There is also double-sided sticky tape placed around the
door, which has a 8 inch high threshold/step (a door sweep is also a good idea if your room isn’t designed this way). Processed skeletal material are frozen for a minimum of two weeks before being moved into the collections space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
