We are shifting our collections of mainly furniture, European domestic technology & farm equipment from an old warehouse into a new building. We have infestations of silverfish and borer as well as a few other stray creepy crawlies. So we are planning to fumigate to get rid of these nasties. We are currently investigating the safety of Methyl Bromide as a fumigant. Can anyone out there enlighten us to the dangers of this gas - we know it can kill you but what about safety procedures, gassing off time etc??? Are there any alternatives to Methyl Bromide. Freezing at this stage is not an option due to the size of the collection. Can anyone help us!!!
