All the taxidermy specimens on display will have to be moved to elsewhere in the Museum (including other collection stores) due to lack of storage space, and so to be on the safe side I would like to treat all the specimens as soon as they come off the gallery and before they go into their new/temporary home. We have a small chest freezer at the Museum that we use for treating small specimens, but there are an awful lot of specimens on the gallery, as well as several very large ones. We have used the walk-in freezer at Liverpool Conservation Centre in the past, but this would involve a great deal of journeys back and forth, and would be very time consuming. Please can anyone recommend a company in the north west that could provide the facilities to treat a large number of specimens on site? Ideally we are looking for a mobile freezer unit?

[pestlist] red-legged ham beetles in a mammal collection
This is a message from the Pest Management Database List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Greetings, We have a (currently small) problem with red-legged ham beetles in our mammal collection and would like suggestions on how best to eliminate them. While moving the contents of 2 cases of boxed wolf skeletons from one case to another we discovered several live adult red-legged ham beetles in a few of the boxes. Closer inspection of the contents of all boxes revealed a few additional beetles, as well as some on the sticky traps that were in the bottom of each case. We bagged and froze all boxes from the 2 original infested cases and vacuumed the 4 (emptied) cases with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner. A few days later while inspecting the empty cases we discovered 2 additional red-legged ham beetles on sticky traps in 2 of the cases. At this point we decided to inspect all sticky traps inside museum cases in the room (400 cases) and detected 7 additional cases that contained the beetle. The museum cases are on compactors and we have since vacuumed the floor of the entire collection room, including the rails, to eliminate any beetles on the move. What can we do to eliminate the beetles, and to ensure that the museum case is bug-free after freezing the contents? We can bag and freeze the contents of all infested cases but its counterproductive to return them to a case that may still contain red-legged ham beetles. Being unable to freeze the case itself, we have resorted to vacuuming the inside. Is there a better method? We believe we know the source of the problem and have since instituted measures to prevent a reoccurrence. But for now we need to deal with the buggy hand weve been dealt. Thanks for your suggestions.
