Dear,

Everyone talked about dermestrid already in drawers.

My question is where dermestrid come from ? How they find the specimens when
the specimens are in drawers ? I think that they lay their eggs on the
specimens while those specimens are drying on the board...

They can't use their vision... I think that they use their smell ?
If they are no dermestrid in our drawers, there is a way to prevent them
returning in ? If they use their smell, is the odor of paradychlorobenzen
make the dermestrid unable to locate the specimens ?

Any suggestion to prevent dermestrid returning in ?

Thank
