Hi Mireia,
 
You need to set up an anoxic chamber system.  Get back to me if more  
details are required,  In haste.
 
With all good  wishes, Simon

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
