If you're going to fumigate a piece of
equipment, what's the least
destructive (to the equipment) fumigant?
CO2 would be the obvious answer, though I'm not sure if it'd be as harmful
to insects as it is to other, larger critters. Put the kit in question in a
thick plastic bag, force all the oxygen out with carbon dioxide or similar,
and leave it for a while. Should certainly get rid of rodents, though
insects might take a wee bit longer.
