As an item of interest: Here’s a place where the public can take their bug-infested items for professional fumigation. I know them from commercial food importers who take their moth-infested foods for USDA approved fumigation.

> Paratex is one of the few companies in the Northwest with the licenses, insurance and experience to perform fumigations. We also have the only sealed fumigation chamber available to the public in our area.

I imagine many large or port cities have this type of service available.
