Dear Rebecca, why don't you consider of using anoxia method to eradicate insect pests in you museum ? By means of VELOXY, any specie of insect will die in few weeks of expositio to anoxia; no matter of their stage of life (adult, egg, larva, pupa). Take a look to RGI's web site and see the references to VELOXY equipment Sincerely Ercole

I have Tom Strang's fatal temperature list and these guys are not on it unfortunately. I am especially interested in the high lethal temperature. Thanks!
