Subject: Pest management
I am a book conservator in an archive in Rome. Because of the evidence of insects among our books a disinfestation was asked. The disinfestation company proposed us to use K-othrine 25 flow (concentrated suspension) (C22 H19 Br2 NO3)also known as Deltamethrin in water solution to be used as an aerosol. I have no documentation about the effect of such compound on paper and parchment. Do anyone know anything about it? Are there better compounds to be used in disinfection?
