Dear Pest People My colleague and I are heading to central Africa next week to run a workshop on wood conservation. I would love to include some tips for dealing with active termite infestations. The museum is underfunded, has no climate control, and the power is unreliable (they regularly lose power for hours at a time).
If anyone can point me to resources or has any ideas about low-cost, low-tech solutions for treating termite infestation, I would be very grateful. We have been vaguely thinking about ways to use solar heat…. perhaps by bagging an object and placing it in a locked car on the premises (scary by US museum standards, I realize, but it does need to be practical and this is just a germ of an idea. Please don’t shout at me!). Many thanks! Cathy Cathy Silverman Assistant Conservator of Furniture and Objects Yale University Art Gallery P.O.
