Alternatives to naphthalene for entomology collection

From: Vinod Daniel <*vinodd<-a*> Date: Tuesday, July 22, 1997 · vinodd<-a

Does any one know of a working alternative to Naphthalene (or PDB)
for stopping insects attacking entomology specimens. Our museum has
a insect collection and we are trying to move away from naphthalene
especially due to health and safety reasons.
