Hello Wise Ones!

My museum has received a large fashion collection that we would like to have treated for pests. Our initial plan was to freeze the objects but a veteran Registrar and Collections guru I know has advised against the difficult, time-consuming freezing process and has recommended fumigation. I have been reading about various, safe fumigation methods on museumpests.net but I'm having difficulty finding a company that is well-versed or even able to accommodate us with this process. Does anyone have some tips, know of reputable museum-worthy fumigators, or even other institutions/contacts who have been through this process that could make a recommendation? We are located in the southeastern region of the U.S. and would love to find someone as close by as possible.

Thanks for your time and energy!

Jessie
