What type of flooring? Is there a gap at all at the bottom of the cases?

Hello!
We have been struggling with outbreaks of clothes moths on our taxidermy on
exhibit. While we are working with our contract pest control services to
adequately treat for the pests, we are also planning an in-depth cleaning of
all the taxidermy specimens this month.
Our exhibit consists of four large island/walk-around dioramas along with five
dioramas around the perimeter behind glass. The islands do have access panels
inside, but the specimens are secured on top. The perimeter dioramas have
narrow or limited access without removing the glass.
Unfortunately, freeze treating the specimens is not an option. Most of the
mounts are quite large (there are three bison on one diorama island) or very
secured (that is, the specimen supports are embedded into the scenic diorama
island).
Other than the pheromone traps, what other treatment options are there that
won’t potentially harm the specimens or our visitors?
I’d appreciate any feedback, recommendations, or anecdotal stories you may have!
Thanks,
Leslie
