RE: termites, OT?
Yes Bob, Diana is absolutely right. You have to seal your package in a waterproof way.

Hi Bob, You'd need to protect the photographs and the albums, of course-- wrap them up some secure way-- but you could simply put them in the freezer for maybe 72 hours. That should work without any need for chemicals. Again, only if you can sufficiently protect the images, but I *believe* that's a successful way to rid yourself of anything that might still be alive.
