Hi Tonya! Your plan sounds just fine. Try to get into as many crevices as possible. Also, once you have finished can you place some monitors in the cabinet before reintegrating your yummy study skins? It is understandable if you do not have the time. On other thought is to isolate the specimens in plastic bags for the time being – until you are more confident that the infestation is under control
Gretchen From: pestlist@googlegroups.com <pestlist@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Haff, Tonya (NCMI, Crace) Sent: Thursday, December 9, 2021 10:04 PM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: * [PestList] Cleaning cabinets Hello all, I have a cabinet that I need to clean to make sure there are no pest eggs, etc, left inside that could reinfest future items put back in the cabinet. I can't just freeze the entire cabinet, and there are weird ledges and corners in the back of it that are difficult to thoroughly reach. I intend to vacuum it all over the interior and to spray and wipe the interior with 70% EtOH. Are there other measures that anyone here would recommend for making sure the cabinet is effectively decontaminated before returning specimens (study skins, super yummy) back to the cabinet? Thanks!
