I spoke with some one at Lloyd Pest Control and in San Diego who confirmed that normally they use the additive in tented homes but when they use the portable fumigation chamber that they haul onsite (say to the one of the Balboa Park complex museums) they do not use the additives (partly because it can be maintained as a secure environment). ???
The most well known use for Vikane is to exterminate household pest infestation. The whole house is "tented" usually with bright colors to draw your attention. But what may act as a warning for adults can appear to be giant bouncy house to inquisitive kids. The additive is designed to make it uncomfortable to be in the enclosed space and act as a warning if there are leaks things like that. Since we are treating valuable artifacts we are used to providing a secure environment regardless of the kind of treatment being performed.
