Hello, Pestlist Hope you all are well.
I am beginning a project of adding an extra layer of protection between pests (specifically moths) and our high-danger collections. Storage boxes are generally made of corrugated plastic sheeting, and historically we have taped the seams. However, this is time consuming and creates a messy looking box after repeated opening and sealing. Now, we are looking at placing these boxes inside of large plastic bags, and rolling the open end tightly up against itself, then clamping, to create a hopefully insect-proof seal. Is this a technique anyone here is familiar with or perfected? I'd love to hear advice. Is anyone making the bags (sealing their own with heat perhaps) to custom size? Is there a retailer of plastic bags (square bottomed preferred) in various sizes that can be recommended? Any tips or suggestions appreciated. Feel free to reach out directly.
