[NHCOLL-L:1726] pests in displays

[Tonya Haff]

Hi all,

I'm looking for advice as to how to control pests that have gotten 
into displays (mostly mammals).  The city museum in town is having 
problems with dermestids in their displays, and is hoping, I think, 
to find a relatively non-toxic way to solve their problem.  They've 
frozen what they can.  Has anyone had experience using insect bombs 
for enclosed displays?  How about for specimens that are large and 
unenclosed?

Thanks,

Tonya
