There is talk right now of tenting our whole museum and using Vikane Gas in order to kill pests, specifically termites.  We were wondering if anyone had any experience with this type of chemical and what kind of affect this would have on our archival collection and displays, which are all housed in the same building.  In the vault most of the paper objects are exposed to the open air and the displays are in Plexiglas displays cabinets, mainly not sealed.  Feel free to e-mail off the list at [log in to unmask] and please excuse any cross-postings.    

 

Thanks!
