I received some excellent advice on pest management in herbaria from
Tiana Rehman <trehman<-at->brit<.>org> at the Botanical Research Institute
of Texas and Mike Merchant <m-merchant<-at->tamu<.>edu> at Texas A&M
University.  I'm sure they would have some information on the best
way to store your specimens.
