[NHCOLL-L:1230] Butterfly Mount Clarification

[Hoar Kerrie L]

Hi all,

Before I get blasted for exposing students to PDB, please let me clarify

myself.

Our butterfly mounts are used in a college setting and are usually
hidden 
away in storage boxes.   They currently reside in very old glass top
boxes 
(mostly handmade) of a riker box type.  They have been sealed without
any 
pesticide of any kind for years and years.

I am simply inquiring on a better method prior to starting the project
of 
replacing and/or repairing storage boxes.  As we all know, limited
budgets 
don't allow us to do things twice.  If anyone has a better method of
pest 
control than PDB -- please let me know.  We have a very small collection
of 
specimens (comparatively speaking) and virtually no budget.

Thanks much,
Kerrie
