Gray Index/Herbarium Pests

[Donna I. Ford-Werntz]

Thanks for all the great feedback (both posted and to me directly); I knew
that I could count on my colleagues to come through!  (The choices for me
are clear: IPNI and deep freezing, respectively).  For more about pest
control, the papers by Strang & by Barringer in SPNHC's "Managing the
Modern Herbarium" (Metsger, ed., 1999) were recommended (now if only I
could find in what box the movers packed my copy...).  I'm compiling a list
of the various freezing procedures I received and will be happy to send it
to anyone wanting more specific details.
