Hi everyone, One of my colleagues has a piece of baleen they use for demonstrations and programs at our Museum. It has become infested with webbing clothes moths. What would be the best way to treat the baleen and remove the moths? My initial thought was to freeze the piece (which would be easiest for us to do) but I read that freezing baleen can cause damage and that an anoxic treatment would be better. Has anyone frozen baleen before? Did it turn out okay? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
