Does anyone have any knowledge of or advice about using a plasma field to treat against a webbing clothes moth infestation? I'm dealing with a household infestation and am looking to treat furniture, clothing and rugs, but no artwork. A company I've contacted said the best treatment method is using plasma field, and described the process as first freezing the materials, and then introducing a dielectric field with argon gas. They said freezing kills the adults while the plasma field kills the eggs and sanitizes. They say this method is better than traditional freezing, which doesn't guarantee killing the eggs. I am an art conservator, and was trained to freeze objects for such an infestation using a standard procedure. I'm just really curious about this treatment and was hoping someone had some thoughts about its use, efficacy and possible harm to the treated materials. Thank you very much in advance.
