In fact your plea has been answered! The Integrated Pest Management Working Group did take on this topic and compiled a number of resources including tips on freezers which are posted on the www.museumpests.net website in the Solutions section. Unfortunately we had a recent incident with unauthorized access on the site and so a few of the pages (including this material) are not back up yet. I hope that people will be patient as we restore all the content and links and that you will check back soon to find the useful resources created by Emily Kaplan and the rest of the IPM-WG Treatment subgroup. I will post to this list when the assets are again available. Best, Rachael IPM-WG Co-Chair Rachael Perkins Arenstein A.M.

We are highly resistant to the use of pesticides for multiple reasons. However, we are interested in exploring all options as this is what our pest management company recommends. We are already using pheromone and sticky monitoring traps. Also, I am looking for recommendations for a chest freezer for the purpose of freezing some of our textiles. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has purchased a freezer in the last couple years. Thank you in advance for your advice and please feel free to contact me off list. --Bonnie _______________________________________ Bonnie K. Sousa Registrar/Senior Collections Manager Robert S.
