>Our institution is in the process of establishing a bedbug protocol.

>Specifically, we are interested in (1) what steps to take when 
>schools or other groups with known bed bug problems visit our 
>museum, and (2) what steps to take if bedbugs are detected in our 
>facility. We have contacts with our local schools regarding their 
>policies, but realize that museums have different conditions and 
>issues.

>We would be most grateful for your advice, experiences (both good 
>and bad), and, most importantly, copies of protocols for dealing 
>with the issue.
>
>Thank you in advance for your ideas and assistance.

>And many thanks for an awesome ASTC conference!
