Does anyone on the list have experience using heat treatments for pest eradication on or near art? Have you controlled the humidity during the process? Have you used the Thermo Lignum system?
I work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and we are considering our options for the design of a freezer system for treating art. We are debating having heat treatment as a 2nd option and would like to hear from anyone with experience using heat to treat art or even non-art, like pallets and crates. I've seen the information that is available on museumpests.net already, so no need to reiterate the potential risks to art, speed of the process, or literature covering temperatures and durations needed. I'm interested in hearing about your experience with the process, whether humidity was controlled, what temperatures you tend to use, whether damage was observed, and whether the treatments were successful in extinguishing all phases of life. Essentially, if you would be willing to discuss your process and experience with me or the group, I would be grateful.
