<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-US">We at the Swedish Museum of Natural History are moving material, mostly bones and mounted mammals, from one external storage facility to another. The facility that we are
evacuating is riddled with pests, mainly the dermestid Trogoderma angustum, so everything has to undergo some sort of pest managing procedure before installation at the new place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-US">Unfortunately, a few bone objects are too big to fit in available freezing containers or our own walk-in freezers, and we are struggling to find a way to kill of pests that
are sure to reside in the objects. The biggest object is a sperm whale skull measuring 275 * 590 cm at the base with a height of 215 cm.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-US">We have tried to find businesses that might dispose of huge freezers without any luck, and we have failed to find clever ways of tilting the objects in to the freezing containers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-US">Does anyone have any ideas here? All thoughts are welcome as we really don´t know what to do at this point. If you have worked with fumigation, we are interested in what compounds
where used and if you were happy with the results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
