Both pests often originate in pigeon, starling, and sparrow nests on the

Yes, visitors might come complete with fabric moths, dermestids (particularly
if guests are walking dead), but more likely a few of the kids will be lousy
(of the hair kind). But, those last ones don’t pose any risk to the museum.

become less viscous when rewarmed to room temperatures. Most plastics should
not suffer from the chilling, though some can become brittle while cold. So,
don’t drop a vacuum while it is cold.

Dear Todd,
I have no experience in freezing vacuum cleaners so far. But I have heard that the filtration capacity/ dust retention ability of the vacuum bags may change after washing. You should verify this by contacting the manufacturer of the vacuum cleaner.

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to check with people in this group to see if anyone can
confirm/deny if freezing a vacuum cleaner at IPM levels (-30/-20 F) would
be damaging to the vacuum. I wanted to see if anyone out there has
destroyed a vacuum by freezing it before I officially suggest it as a
