Default Moths on a shoulder mount
Hey guys we have a problem with moths eating on our wool coats and garments and was wondering what I could do to keep them off of my mount when I get it back from the taxidermist?

There are many "snake tonics" that some will perscribe but only one guaranteed way - Miller's Trophy Room. Look them up.

make sure your taxidermist has your hide tanned professionally, make sure he doesn't use a dry tan

Dry tanned is sent off to a professional tannery. Just another couple of steps. But that does not have anything to do with moths or dermestid beetles.

nc is right. Dermestids can attack a hide no matter how it was preserved.
