Tropics with high temperature and humidity conditions are very suitable for
the development of destructive insects. Some types of insects, especially the
herbarium beetle, will eat dried plant material and quickly damage the herbarium
collection. Damage caused by insects can be avoided by first cooling at -20ºC or
below (deep freezing) for at least seven days. Whereas existing specimens must be
cooled. Periodically during the cooling process, the specimens should be wrapped in
plastic bags or placed in a styrofoam box and tightly closed to avoid condensation
during cooling. After cooling, the specimen should be placed in an air-conditioned
room so that the temperature rise can proceed gradually adjusting the temperature of
the room.
Plant specimens that are still fresh to be diagnosed should not be stored close to the
herbarium, and ideally tested in places far from the herbarium collection. Specimens
removed from the room (for testing or aid specimens) to be cooled before returning
to its original place. If deemed necessary, specimens should also be fumigated, for
example once a year. Fumigation must use permissible fumigants, such as methyl
bromide, carbon bisulphide, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride, hydrocyanic
gas, lindane, dichlorvos strip or paradichlorobenzene. Care is needed in fumigation
because some fumigants are very dangerous and some are highly flammable.
However, fumigation alone does not give satisfactory results, because of eggs and
pupae insects often do not die by fumigants (Triharso, 2013).
