Dermestids (the type of bugs that eat your mounts) are quickly attracted to improperly mounted game, this is true, but when present can and will attack even properly cared for specimens. Call an exterminator immediately, and tell him you are fearful of a dermestid infestation. (carpet beetles) they will likely treat more than just your mounts to rid them.
