I am the Collections Curator at the Fort Collins Museum & Discovery Science Center, where we are in the planning stage of a big move to a newly built building. Our collections, which include a large clothing and textile collection, appear pretty clean right now as far as pests go, but a history of carpet beetle infestations makes me wary of moving old problems to this new facility. I am trying to plan the most effective yet feasible method for insuring that we don't move pests with our collections. What's best? Spot checking and only addressing problems as they appear? Freezing everything? Having our pest management company bomb our current collections storage? If you have moved recently and dealt with this issue I'd love to get your advice! “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind."
