Hi All. We have an insect collection contained in wooden boxes housed in a large steel cabinet. We want to protect them from being degraded during long term storage. I am seeking DCHAS wisdom for alternatives to the traditional use of p-dichlorobenzene and/or naphthalene-based "moth balls" for this function. I will be grateful for your suggestions.
