We have a large natural history collection that consists of various
stuffed and mounted specimens that is infested with dermestid (carpet)
beetles. We can freeze the smaller items in our Wei T'o freezer, but
the larger pieces will not fit in the freezer compartment and we
are considering the use of a chemical pesticide to eradicate the
infestation. Does anyone recommend a specific product, if any? TIA.
