[Nhcoll-l] Advice on dealing with museum infestations

[Adelaide Sallema]

Hello all,

I'm looking 
for some advice on dealing with new museum infestations. Conservator and
 I have found new infestation in storage cabinets and stuffed bird 
collections and we have tried to identify these pests and thought might 
be kind of furniture beetles- but not so sure. I have attached few 
photos to be able to identify types of pests and areas that have been 
infested. Our  museum 
is involved in the fumigation museum environment,unfortunately new 
infestation appear with a rapid attack. 

I'd be 
very interested to hear from anyone with experience of telling what type
 of pests and measures to take both preventive and curative to overcome a
 problem.
Thanks,
