Hi Joan,
Yes it can be frozen. I’ve found them on leather boots before, and we froze them with no issues.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Silver fish & Textiles
Good morning, Museum L readers.
We removed a high school letter jacket from a display case and during removal found silver fish in the case. That would be live silver fish. The jacket has leather
sleeves, wool body and a man made lining, collar and cuffs. It's currently wrapped and duct taped in plastic and separated from the rest of the collection. Can a garment like this be frozen to kill potential silver fish or is there another approach?
Thanks,
Joan H Baldwin
