Summary Shchepanek, M. J.: In defence of using adhesives and low‐temperature pest control for botanical specimens. – Taxon 50: 169–173. 2001. – ISSN 0040‐0262. I.M. Egenberg & D. Moe have suggested that herbarium specimens mounted with adhesive combined with the low temperature technique for pest eradication causes serious damage to specimens. Experiments carried out at the National Herbarium of Canada contradict these results and show that the techniques are safe when used properly.
