Usually 3 days at 10-20 degrees F. Look for info on line.

The exhibit contains several taxidermy mounts, wool and leather clothing, and several animal hides. I found frass, moth casings with live larvae and dead moths within a bison hide and a skunk taxidermy hat- I have attached photos below of a small portion of what was found. The items have been isolated and I am now seeking treatment options- has anyone had similar infestations within animal hides that they were successful in eliminating? Any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated.
