You received good advice from Ellen about the particulars of freezing and 
from Pam about seeking help from local universities.  I also wanted to 
remind people on this list about the www.museumpests.net resource and its 
PestList e-mail list which are both meant to provide resources for exactly 
these kinds of issues.  You can register for the PestList by visiting 
www.museumpest.net and following the instructions there.

Best,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Drestmid killing schedule

Hi,
We have some objects that are being treated for drestmid infestations.
They have been in a freezor for over two weeks.  The previous
collections
manager said that they should now be taken out for two weeks to allow
any
existing eggs to hatch (because they are not affected by the cold) and
then the objects put back in the freezor for two weeks to kill newly
hatched bugs.  Then if we felt it was necessary repeat the process
again.
The current collections manager said that where she worked before they
only froze objects for one week and that was it and that was supposed to
kill all the bugs and any eggs.  What is the correct way for doing this?

Thank you.
