here is a site with management tips
http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7436.html
"...Mounted animal specimens, such as museum specimens or game trophies, should be regularly cleaned or periodically placed in a freezer for 10 to 14 days. Inspect stored woolens, linens, and furs; air, brush, and hang them in the light on a yearly basis. If infestations are found, launder or dry clean these items to destroy carpet beetle adults, larvae, and eggs before returning them to storage. Be sure cleaned items are sealed in a protective plastic bag or other suitable container...."

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] fur infestation
Hi, listers, we have a ca. 1955 fur hat worn by an important local woman. The
hat came to us infested with carpet beetles. Can we freeze this object to kill
the pests, or will this method damage the fur? What is the best method for
fumigating fur? Thank you for any help you can give us. Stephanie Turnham
