Martin and others:

We had have visiting groups self-identify that their schools and classroom have bedbug problems. We do know of museums that have detected individual insects. Although professionals say that institutions such as museums are more likely to have occasional detection and not infestation, we want to have a policy in place to keep our museum pest-free, and also to inform the public, if necessary, of the steps we take.

Many thanks for any advice you can provide!
