[Nhcoll-l] Pest management

[Mireia Beas Moix]

Hello all,



 We want to implement an Integrated Pest Management Program for our
vertebrate collections, and use safer alternatives to pesticides.



 What would be the best way to treat bird and mammal skins and skeletons
when they return to your institution after having been on loan? I have been
using freezing, but I am afraid it can affect the specimens in the long
term (especially those that are loaned at least once a year).



Thank you all in advance,



 Mireia
