So now that this topic has been discussed like this was the first time a photographer's domicile was fumigated... what's the end of the story? Did it work out without damage??

Thank you for asking. The fumigation is over but I have not finished unpacking and I am no where near checking the paper and the film.

You should be fine. When mine was fumigated the film survived as well as the cameras. I had no paper or chemistry, though, but the literature seems to support those will be fine too.

Thank you, that is good to know. Frankly with the resurgence of COVID, even though I have both shots and the full dosage Moderna booster*, we have again stopped planning any travel until things settle down. Hence I am just not photographing these days. Eventually we will get through this.


* Non of the half dosage stuff
